I can't eat raw tomatoes plain. At least not that beefsteak tomato crap. Not even the roma tomatoes. But shieeeet, a little bit of salt, some balsalmic vinegar, fresh basil, fresh mozarella...

I can eat some heirloom tomatoes plain but I haven't nailed down the specific variety.

Agreed, OP.

Here's some fine cuisine for you and your good thread.

I still prefer no tomato though

I used to sit and eat an entire container of cherry tomatoes at once.

Those were so good.

If you ever get a chnace to try home grown tomatoes, do it. They are so tastey

I love tomatoes.

i just hate fresh tomatoes personaly, op seems abit retarded to me still though.

>>4897272
>I have never eaten a ripe tomato

Cherry tomatoes are quite good.

Dat pop.

I have an aversion to tomatoes. They trigger heartburn for me (which NO other food does...) but my 6year old nephew eats them like apples. Also he and my sister both like them sliced thick as tomato sandwiches

how lonely do you have to be to troll this poorly?

sympathy reply, op. I hope you don't self harm from misery.

Sprinkle a little bit of quality sea salt on good ripe tomatoes and you'll learn to not be a pleb.

Theres this one kid at school that usually eats a whole, large, raw tomato for lunch, like if they were apples.

No

A little tomato is OK. But that shit is so soggy and disgusting. I've always fucking hated raw tomato, but loved cooked. If a sandwich has too much tomato I just pick it off though. You're a bit of a bitch, OP.
I don't like eggplant either, but it's nearly edible.

>>4899700

I'd do this, but heartburn would kick in after two days of whole raw tomato eating.

Tomatoes are fantastic, though.

Fuck you OP tomatos are delicious.

You probably really enjoy cilantro too

>>4899627
Eat tomatos with sugar on em

I only like the more acidic and less sweet varieties. I mean, maybe not exactly that, I mostly don't like the cherry or teardrop tomatoes cause they have that gross sweet taste to them. I don't like them in salads either. I love to eat hairloom tomatoes on their own though.

>tfw your parents buy roma tomatoes and want to use those on sandwiches

They just have a slightly sour fruity taste which I don't see the appeal of whatsoever, in any application.

When I lived in my old city, we'd walk home after a night drinking in the centre. We'd forgo a cab so we could drink more. The route we took had a 24/7 Paki shop, the kind that has all those giant bowls of fruit and veg outside it. We'd get tomatoes and eat them as we staggered home together as the sun rose. Every time I eat a tomato I imagine those glorious days of my life.

Don't know what to say OP.
I love tomatoes both raw in salads and freshly shredded on tomato sauce for pasta.

>>4901055
and also, if I make a sandwich, I dry the tomatoes on some paper before adding them andalways between fillings or spreads so as to not soak the bread.

Not liking tomatoes is on par with not liking onions or olives. It's just childish and shows a distinct lack of taste and maturity.

>>4901063
Children don't like olives? Am I the only one who fucking loved them as a kid.

>>4901072
Olives are disgusting and so is olive oil.

I know of it for a reason. I enjoy mayonnaise and onion topped fries at an Amsterdam themed bar once or twice a month while I drink gin and listen to our local Irish band.

Also, their broodjes are pretty cool too. There's nothing wrong with mayo, aoili, ranch, or even fucking peanut sauce on fries (all of which they serve there, and several others). I'm just tired of everything turning into BLAME AMMURICA.

Tomatoes and potatoes are vegetables of the gods.

i only hate raw tomatoes on sandwiches. it destroys the bread foundation and adds nothing to the sandwich. flavor? "fresh crunch"? har!

>>4902983
I'd like to try growing a couple of these, just for shits and giggles.

Tomatoes and potatoes are extremely easy to grow.
They are also very rewarding, depending on your tastes in vegetables.

h-help

>>4897272
See, I agree with you about the disgusting disgusting raw tomatoes.

I can eat a tomato literally any other way. Even in salsa, since the acidity technically cooks it.

I hate raw tomatoes. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Tomatoes are, pretty much, the ONLY vegetable I can eat raw.

>>4903031
yeah ill concede that

i like them in a spicy salsa (no fucking chunks), or sun dried, something like that

but chunks of tomato or raw tomato? door is that way faggot

I have to ask, how does one propagate potatoes if you have to dig out their root system to harvest them?

>>4897272
>cucumbers, eggplants, onions, and those long spindly broccolis
You are clearly a close minded individual, you won't even eat the most common fruits and vegetables.
I had the same problem for the first 10 years of my life, then I realised I was missing out on so much by acting like a picky faggot.

>>4897272
>fuck onions

kill yourself

For me, depends on the tomato.
For raw, I like them nice and crisp. Like biting into a savory apple. Nothing better than chilling outside with a couple of nice sized, ripe, crisp tomatoes.
For steamed or stewed, either cherry tomatoes or really juicy soft tomatoes.
I stopped putting them on burgers, and only put them on BLTs and clubs really. I agree with OP they shouldn't be on a burger, but the rest of his post sounds like he is a 13 year old who gorges on junk food.

>>4903125
>ripe, crisp tomatoes
No. Ripe tomato. Or crisp tomato. There are no ripe, crisp tomatoes.

Eat a homegrown tomato. It will change your life.

Same thing here OP, I've tried eating them hundreds of times but I just don't like them.

Don't like tomatoes, onions, or pretty much any vegetables. I really wish I did, it really sucks.

>mfw tomato sympathizers are trying to justify eating their shitty plant

is there one very prolific samefag in this thread? Or is this 'like what I like or you're a retard child' attitude common here?

To everyone saying homegrown tomatoes are so much better, why? What makes them so much better? Growing up, my family always devoted 2/3 or so of our garden to tomatoes, and I've always thought it was such a waste. This isn't just something I felt as a child, I've tried raw tomato as recently as a month or two ago, and I honestly can't see the appeal at all. It's watery and full of unpleasant seeds, with the little flavor it has being mildly unpleasant. It's like a soggy cucumber. At least cucumbers have a satisfying crunch and are refreshing. Maybe my family just grows shitty varieties, I don't know. Are there any kinds that might change my opinion?

>>4903165
>Implying Moot doesn't eat his tomatoes Unripe and green

>>4903193
your dislike is entirely valid, for you. It does not change the fact that so many other people like them for many fine reasons.

Don't be a child.

>>4902974
If the only shit you get are tomatoes, picked before completely ripe, shipped from hundreds of miles away, you get some really bland shit.
If, like me, you grew up on tomatoes from your own garden, you gonna love everything tomato.

>>4903047
because they are technically fruits

>>4903125
you can use them on burgers,
just skin them and remove the seeds and just leave the flesh.

Kills me all the niggers on here that flip about people not liking tomatoes, but won't touch onions..

>>4903207
So is pumpkin, but I can't eat that raw.
All squash.
Cucumbers.
All peppers (hot and sweet).
Egg plant.
Corn.
All fruits.

>>4903207

I eat cherry tomatoes like sweets. I could eat them all day. Tomatoes are amazing. More for me if you don't want them.

>>4903388
>I don't even know why, but the comparison from homegrown to store bought is pretty damn huge.
The basic reason is that the varieties that people prize for their flavor tend to be juicier and softer when ripe, and don't ship well or keep well at that point. Storing a bunch together hastens their shift from ripe to overripe. Tomatoes destined for grocery stores are often picked before they're ripe, stored, and ripened near the time of sale with ethylene and heat/humidity control, but however they do it, they still need to be ripe at the grocery store, and the delicate varieties favored by home gardeners just don't meet the practical criteria favored by retailers.

>>4903193
>To everyone saying homegrown tomatoes are so much better, why?
Like someone else said, the reasons you don't like them sound valid - they are watery and have seeds, and lack the crunch of a cucumber. To me the flavor is quite intense, much moreso than most other common veggies, but opinions like that are very subjective. But even if you hate tomatoes, if you bought tomatoes at a store, I think you'd notice the texture and flavor difference between those and freshly picked home grown tomatoes. Since you dislike the properties that most tomato fans enjoy (flavor, juiciness), you may actually prefer the store-bought varieties.

OP is kashiyuka

>>4897272
ur a bitch,

i don't like big chunks aswell but whining about a little bit of juice?

I'm not really relating to any of your tomato feels. I used to dislike them too in any form until like 6 years old, and also wasn't fully into baked tomato until early teens.

Now I can't even imagine a bad tomato. Juicy, crunchy, homegrown, greenhouse, sweet, sour, any cultivar, prepared in any way, all good. Very, very rarely I come across a tomato that's not too much of a delicacy for me and even then it's a mouthful au naturel.

>>4903252
Are you trying to say you can't eat raw corn, cucumber or peppers?

Do people actually like uncooked onions?

They're fucking gross and overpower all the other ingredients.

>>4903755
I like raw red onions on sandwiches, burgers and salads

Not a big fan of white/yellow onions.

>>4903755
>Do people actually like uncooked onions?
Yeah, raw onion is extremely popular in the US, used on burgers/sandwiches in all the main fast food chains among other places, and commonly in salads. The onions used are relatively mild; perhaps the onions you're familiar with are much stronger than these.

>>4903714
>Are you trying to say you can't eat raw corn, cucumber or peppers?
I think he was actually trying to say those are fruits, in the autistic botanical sense that co/ck/s like to argue about, but he couldn't form a sentence.

>>4903783
Oh ok.
>autistic botanical sense
Why's it autistic? They are fruit. "sweet plants" aren't fruit, as much as people would like to think.

>>4903787
>>autistic botanical sense
>Why's it autistic? They are fruit.
Because any moderately educated person understands the botanical definitions. The riddle of "tomatoes are fruits" is pretty well played out by age 10. But only autists insist on "correcting" people into adulthood who call them vegetables in a culinary rather than botanical context. Like, oh, I don't know...a cooking forum?

Thick slices of tomato with salt are delicious. A little dab of peter luger sauce added to the mix is also fantastic.

Have you guys ever heard about the "blood type diet"? It must be related with the OP's dilemma.

I have A+ blood type and tomato (such as meat in general and cucumber) are not "compatible" with my blood type so I can't ~feel~ them so attractive even on nice pics like those above (at least raw, except for the cherry tomatoes they're tasty as fuck).

Take a look:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type_diet

>>4902950

you happy?

>The blood type diet is a nutritional diet advocated by Peter J. D'Adamo, outlined in his book Eat Right 4 Your Type.
>Eat Right 4 Your Type

Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

>>4903924
Quite above the average, thank you.

>>4903928
It is not about ~feels~ literally, noble Anon, it's about taste and the way food is digestible, or whatevs.

But actually I don't know how much that diet is accurate, I'm saying just in case someone knows about it.

I have a nephew tat will not eat raw
tommatos. kin of crazy. he likes any kind of cooked matters or salad. ot raw fruit, like peaches or strawberries. and cooked tomatoes or catsup or fruit in pies are ok. jezze some people are screwy. wait, whats that.. you get awway from me now with those dates or beets. I donno ,I could not imagine a world with out fresh tomatos. even the waxy store bought ones along about february I would not sell my soul to the devil for a home grown matter, but we'd have a conversation. just do not understand how someone can hate raw tomatoes. but then again everyone round here likes soft or mac apples. why i'd as soon eat... . un related but I dislike canned sardines or small undervined shrimp, but livermush ot potted meat is ok[. go figure

>>4904549
The high priest has spoken.

>>4903924
>Your IQ is...?
IQ is surprisingly independent of gullibility. There are people with PhDs in hard sciences who believe in angels and other superstitions. Skeptics like you or I would probably still consider them stupid, but at the same time they might be able to solve equations that would take us years of study. It's like an everyday version of savantism...the person posting in earnest about the "blood type diet" might have perfectly good intellectual capabilities outside of bullshit discrimination.

I used to hate tomatoes as well OP, now I love them. Maybe one day you'll enjoy them.

>>4901118
I found olives to be an acquired taste. First time I ate one I was like "what is this, some kind of sea grape (it was in brine)?" But I kept eating them so as not to offend our host and by the end of the night I was converted.

>>4902926
YES
Cheese, tomato, cucumber and mustard is a great combo.

>>4903518
Should've washed them.

I don't like raw tomatoes. Or any sort of whole tomatoes really, I'm not sure what it is. I love ketchup, spag bol, even tomato chutney. I just can't touch whole tomatoes, even chopped ones.

>>4904605

darn. i am hungry now.

I don't like tomato's or tomato taste. If I get pizza(rarely) I get a white pizza. Just never liked the taste.

>oh well
>don't care
>don't like onions either

>>4904557
I wish. i like ck cause it it is informative, free and makes me laugh. a pretty good combination.

Personally I can't enjoy raw tomatoes for the reasons many mentioned here. The watery, slightly bitter taste, the texture of the flesh when combined with the taste. I just can't enjoy them. And yes I do believe they taint everything they touch with their juice. Its just a rather powerful flavor and once its in something its such a pain in the ass to get out I'd rather not eat it unless I'm not likely to get food in the near future.

Think is I like them almost every other way except raw. I love cucumbers and onions ( as long as they aren't cooked to a slimey consistency, again its a texture thing), squash, broccoli, various leafy greens... Oh well. Just sure is nice to have so many people come out and say 'grow up fgt, stop not enjoying what I enjoy. Retard manchild.' Ironic really.

Raw tomatoes are usually pretty disappointing on sandwiches, either they're hard and bitter or they've got too much liquid in them and drip everywhere. I don't bother with them.

This is what tomatoes are supposed to be used for:

>>4903899
I love raw tomato and I'm A+.

..and so's my blood.

I will not any cooked tomato. But give me a piece of fresh garden tomato and I will destroy that shit in a second.
OP just need to grow the fuck up!

The only food I feel this way about is celery.

Depending on how they're cut and how slimy/watery they are, I can't stand fresh tomatoes.

That said, I can't understand why people don't like fresh onion. That shit is tight as fuck and I love adding onion to my food, but it gets annoying when a friend of mine complains about them.

>disliking any common fruit or vegetable

The only people who have an excuse are people who are allergic to certain fruits or veg. The rest of you are a bunch of nambypamby sissy boy faggots who need to wipe the sand out of your vaginas.

>>4904946
And while we're both acting the fool. Say that to my face, motherfucker, and not online and see what happens.

>>4903099
The potato is the root ..sorta. Every eye on the potato is a potential root. So if you cut up a potato into chunks each with an eye then plant it. Each chunk will grow into a new potato plant. This does not work with supermarket potatoes though as they have been treated to prevent roots.

>>4903195
Yeah we get it, Moot is a pedo.

>>4905069
>>MFW nobody realizes tomatoes have almost no flavor
As you can see from dozens of people saying they hate the flavor, and others saying they love the flavor, most humans are taste them just fine. You have no taste.

>>4905082

uh... i mean, i guess? not really because you don't make mayo at all like hummus and there's no tahini and it's just mayonaise but you add some garlic to it after it's made.

it's really just.. mayo... with garlic in it. :)

>>4905071

>>4903193

Store: bred for storage, picked green, ripened with ethylene...

Garden: bred for taste, picked when you need it, ripened naturally to let the sugars develop...

Stunning difference. One of the true "It's so much better if you grow it" fruits. If you live in a place that you can only grow early varieties, it might not be a big deal, but if you live where you can grow a proper tomato then you are really missing out.

Pickles are even worse and their flavor is so fucking potent. I always get cuban sandwiches without pickles and I often have to pick them off anyway. Once the fucking Columbia restaurant botched my order. How does that even happen at a good restaurant.
