How do you like your tomatoes? I prefer them sandwiched between 3 thick slabs of beef.

I hate tomatoes in my sandwiches. They're too watery to be in a sandwich. Much rather have it as a sauce on pasta.

See, now that's where I disagree. As a child I hated tomatoes, absolutely despised tomatoes.

Now that I'm a grown adult and have an adult taste palette, I can enjoy the subtle excitement that a slice of tomato can bring to a sandwich, it's like British comedy. Sure it's funny, but no one fell off their seat laughing to it. Maybe a chuckle or two followed by a golf clap, a sip of tea and a chip chip cheerio. Anyways I digress, the little kick that tomatoes add to my ham and swiss sandwich is delicious, and very much welcomed.

They're pretty versatile too! I mean, you can throw some small cherry tomatoes into your salad and BAM! It's a tasty explosion.

Want to go all out? KETCHUP! Ketchup is like orgasming into the mouth of your dream girl while hitting vtec in a supercharged NSX with straight pipes, all while it snaps back and regains traction after momentarily losing it due to the harsh acceleration ... it's just a BAM BAM BAM hit of flavor man. Truth be told I have a mild stiffy and cold sweats just thinking about it.

Tomatoes. They're amazing.

Actually, I HATE buying tomatoes in supermarkets. They are harvest way too early, and whatever strain of tomatoes they are using don't ripen well. Simply put, they are garbage, horrible texture and even more horrible taste.

As ridiculous as it sounds, your best bet on getting good tomatoes (without doing a Farmer's Market trip) is actually canned.


I buy whole canned tomatoes for my stews and pasta sauces.

The only time I use crap supermarket tomatoes is for guacamole where I want a raw crunch texture.

This tomato looks like a duck:

Didn't someone actually create a real tomacco plant?

When I meet people who say they don't like tomatoes, I always ask them if they've tried real, fresh, picked red & RIPE tomato straight from the vine.

I grow my own tomatoes every summer, they're so sweet it's like eating candy.

Tomacco was originally a fictional plant that was a hybrid between tomatoes and tobacco, from the 1999 episode "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)". The method used to create the tomacco in the episode is fictional. In the episode, the tomacco was accidentally created by Homer Simpson when he planted and fertilized his tomato and tobacco fields with plutonium. The result is a tomato that apparently has a dried, brown tobacco center, and, although being described as tasting terrible by many characters, is also immediately and powerfully addictive. The creation is promptly labeled "tomacco" by Homer and sold in large quantities to unsuspecting passersby. A cigarette company, Laramie Tobacco Co., seeing the opportunity to legally sell their products to children, offers to buy the rights to market tomacco, but Homer demands one thousand times as much money as they wish to pay him, and the company withdraws. Eventually, all of the tomacco plants are eaten by farm animals — except for the one remaining plant, which later goes down in an explosive helicopter crash with the cigarette company's lawyers.

The process of making tomacco was first revealed in a 1959 Scientific American article, which stated that nicotine could be found in the tomato plant after grafting. Due to the academic and industrial importance of this breakthrough process, this article was reprinted in a 1968 Scientific American compilation.[14]
A Simpsons fan, Rob Baur of Lake Oswego, Oregon, was inspired by the episode. Remembering the article in a textbook, Baur cultivated real tomacco in 2003. The plant produced offspring that looked like a normal tomato, but Baur suspected that it contained a lethal amount of nicotine and thus would be inedible. Testing later proved that the leaves of the plant contained some nicotine.[15] Both plants are members of the same family, Solanaceae or nightshade.[16] The tomacco plant bore tomaccoes until it died after 18 months, spending one winter indoors.[16] Baur was featured on the "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)" audio commentary in the Simpsons Season 11 DVD box set discussing the plant and resulting fame.[17]

The 2004 convention of the American Dialect Society named tomacco as the new word "least likely to succeed."[18] Tomacco was a wordspy.com "Word of the Day".[19]
Tomacco juice is shown with Marge's other groceries in the new opening theme. Also, there is a Tomacco field in The Simpsons Hit and Run

I have and I still don't like it very much. I think it is the texture that gets me. I love dried/cooked tomatoes.

The texture used to bug me but then I started trying tomatoes in all my sandwiches and burgers, and before I knew it I was eating them raw in salads etc. I used to think they were like big red boogers but now they're like big tasty red boogers to me.

Vansterdam 11-22-2011 07:40 AM

kevin7352 11-22-2011 09:06 AM

KingDeeCee 11-22-2011 09:38 AM

Cherry Tomatoes = best snack ever.

I use to buy boxes and boxes of them and just eat them after a quick rinse. Explosion in your mouth and tastes so gud.

kevin7352 11-22-2011 10:23 AM

TOO FANCY

DirtySanchez 11-22-2011 01:57 PM

I'm not a fan of tomato chunks that come in a can in my spaghetti and chili, it just gets in the way of the Meat.

Good in sandwich's tho.
