I like them

>bacon
>vegetable
OP may as well add your brain to the vegetable mix.

>>14421203
I wouldn't call them inedible, they are just nothing, like the bud light of vegetables

>>14421210
We'll also have to add yours. Reading comprehension. Tomato isn't a vegetable, but nowhere does he say that bacon is.

>>14421227
By saying “other vegetables”, OP is insinuating that everything xhe listed is a vegetable.

>>14421210
pretty sure he was not implying bacon is a vegetable

>>14421235
um, thats a pretty odd interpretation of that sentence, is English not your first language?

>>14421244
im correct though

>>14421260
why do you possibly think this?

>>14421203
Dont buy shitty tomatoes.

>>14421281
heirloom tomatoes are even worse for this

>>14421238
To be fair, if he's saying that tomatoes are slices of water, but not lettuce, who knows what the fuck OP is talking about

just use ketchup like all amerifats

>>14421203
Word salad.

>>14421294
yeah, that is the weird part, lettuce obviously is just as much a slice or water, maybe even more

>>14421301
its not confusing at all

>>14421203
I only use what is commonly referred to as Italian Plum tomatoes. They're cheaper, and more versatile. I'm not really sure what your issue is with the other types of tomatoes is, but I get the feeling you haven't a clue about choosing quality produce.

>>14421276
Because he isn't familiar with BLT, obviously. It's not as definitive as you think. Both you and OP can fuck off. OP for his shitty phrasing and you for defending it.

>>14421203
This just tells me you've never had a fresh grown non-factory produced tomato in your life

>>14421314
any large tomato is not very flavorful in raw usage

>>14421203
>blt
>vegetable
When are you cooking lettuce for 30+ minutes?

an unripe tomato has no flavor, is grainy, and is watery. a ripe tomato is sweet, soft, and juicy.

>>14421315
the phrasing isn't ambiguous at all

>>14421331
lol le epic trololololol such comedy much funny

>>14421341
what specifically are you confused by?

>>14421203
The only tomatoes you should eat are grape tomatoes

They're tasty cold and add a splash of refreshment between the bread and bacon

>>14421203
tomatoes are fruits, even if sold with the veggies like the supreme court BS said and this thread is hella gay. most tomatoes sold in the US aren't even ripe so that is why you taste nothing.

>>14421389
Romas here are good raw desu if you work in the produce department and can eat them as soon as they come in.

>>14421366
The fact that lettuce is more notorious than tomato for being crunchy water. The unnecessary mention of bacon. The use of flavor instead of favor. The suggestion that all vegetables that need to be cooked should be replaced by a specific breed of tomato, in a post intended to deride tomatoes. The whole post is a lazy mess, and OP needs to take writibg lessons if he wants to continue using this mode of communication.

>>14421470
The only sentence you just wrote is a runon sentence. You make about as much sense as OP.

>>14421644
>nooooioiiiiiiooouou you can't write a list you have to compose an essay

It's a vegetable. They basically never have flavor if you don't season them. You should try it with balsamic

>>14421669
>what are carrots, onions, corn, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, peas etc

Even stuff like celery and and lettuce have a planty sweetness, one tomato is three cups of water.

>>14421210
Kek OP absolutely blasted by this man's anal cavity

>>14421669
Have you ever heard of fennel?

>>14421321
shop for tomatoes somewhere besides a chain grocery. buy from a vegetable stand, or at a farmers market. fresh without the gas are the best, and regular tomatoes from a grocery are all artificially sped up and gassed to be ripe to sell faster.

>>14423290
>nooo please don't buy your normal ass vegetables at a grocery store of all places, make a stop somewhere else for them

>>14423528
Grow your own then you won't have to leave the house you lazy fuck

>>14423642
large raw tomatoes are boring no matter where you buy them

>>14421203
You must never have tasted what tomatoes actually taste like before. All you know is the bottom of the barrel generic grocery store tomatoes, which you accurately call "sacks of water". Flavorful tomatoes are some of life's greatest joys, and I so pity those who have never tasted what tomatoes actually taste like.

>>14423667
tomatoes deserved to be cooked, don't waste your time with raw

>>14423667
Let’s face it OP is just a overgrown man child trying to cope about his children tier palate

>>14423642
How is gonna pick them if he never leaves his house donut

>>14421203
cooked for 30 minutes? nigger you obviously don't have the absolute trash we have in australia
>go to buy tomatos for sandwich
>they're all sold is massive packs, can't just buy two
>look like they have cancer growing inside of them with sickly pale skin
>get home and cut one open
>fucking GREEN on the inside and stinking of sap
>think fuck it not going to waste these and try to make a sauce
>soon as they hit the pan the smell is absolutely atrocious
>fill kitchen with the scent of manure and compost
>after and hour they're still stiff as aluminium, have to resort to mashing
>add in some other cooked vegetables and stew the fuck out of it
>mix in pasta and couple of fist fulls of salt in pepper
>taste like shit, can still smell the land it was grown on
>horrible bitter after taste and somehow full of little sharp fibres that cut your mouth
>finish the cooking wine in disgust

>>14421203
Stop buying giant red nothing balls from Walmart and start growing your own. No tomato from any supermarket in the world will ever be as good as even the most basic homegrown shit.

>>14424160
You should have left them to ripen, supermarkets always buy their shit underripe so it can stay on the shelves for longer. Regardless fresh tomatoes suck for making sauces, tinned is best.

>>14421203
tomatoes are the one vegetable you shouldn't buy for cheap
the difference between bottom tier cheapo supermarket tomatoes and actually good tomatoes is staggering, the good ones have like 10 times more flavor

>>14421203
raw tomatoes are good. you are just retarded

>>14421774
>one tomato is three cups of water.
You liar they aren't even as big as three cups of water unless your tomato is the size of a coconut

>>14425008
if you like mushy, barely flavored like anything, slop

>>14424160
I live in shitney and the produce isnt good. HOWEVER, it's not on your ditrade's level of shit.
just buy ripe tomatoes and put some salt on them
