The taste and texture of raw tomatoes is vile. The only way to make them edible is to beat them into submission.

And then add herbs/spices/vinegars, etc to cover the nastiness that is raw tomato.

Don't even get me started on avocado. Nothing can save it.

I felt similarly when I was a kid, until I had good cherry tomatoes. that was my gateway drug. *pause* we've done this before, haven't we? heh. - b. Jul 23, 12:45 3
- Yes, everyone in my family has gone through the same schedule... taste for tomatoes, bleu cheese, mushrooms, olives, etc. - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 12:52
- Yep. I occasionally retry foods because my tastes do change. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:47 1
  - the texture thing is what I was after there... good cherry/grape tomatoes have a very different texture to the regular kinds. - b. Jul 23, 12:57
Your subject made me sad for you. Your IM made me even sadder. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:41 6
- Eh. Taste is taste. It's not like I hate something that is objectively good. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:44 1
  - Dude, you just stated your food tastes as if they were fact. I guess the "IMO"s are implied. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:51
- mmm avocado and shimps :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:43 3
  - I'm just curious: Who grows avocados in Europe? -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:44 2
    - avocado growers? - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:45 1
      - I think greenhouses proliferate here all the time, as well. As people demand better produce all year round. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:48
