Tomato is a fruit.

>>5621469
Tomatoes on their own are not great, I agree. But they compliment other things very well. Ever had caprese salad?

>>5621474
No, but I just looked it up; looks like it would be pretty good if you took out all the tomatoes.

>not taking into account the flavor
>bothered by the appearance and texture of an under-ripe tomato that has merely been sliced

Take your picky shit elsewhere.

>Good raw
>Good cooked
Tomatoes are right up there with onion as best vegetable (inb4 retarded fruit/vegetable argument).

>>5621469
Tomatoes are fruit. And as a fruit, it looks perfectly wonderful and appropriate. You sound like a picky toddler.

>>5621479
>not taking into account the flavor

>implying

>>5621469
That looks like a shitty tomato.

Daily reminder that this is the only thing besides spaghetti sauce (with NO chunks of tomato in it) that tomatoes are good for.

>>5621479
>>5621485
You sound like you have shit taste, samefag. Know how I can tell? Because you're literally defending a TOMATO of all vegetables on the INTERNET.

shit tomatoes suck

great tomatoes are the best thing in the world

>>5621472

>>5621485
Wow, this denial. Quite simply, it's incredibly embarrassing. You should probably stop posting now, seriously. Just wow.

>>5621469
>GUYS I HATE THING

everyone likes different things OP. why are there always these thread "WHOA GUYS THIS SUCKS DO YOU THINK IT SUCKS TOO!?"

every thread you make will always have people that either like, dislike, or don't really mind tomatoes.

what do you think the outcome is going to be this time?

>>5621516
Does pretending to be retarded bring you joy?

>>5621509
Sorry to burst your bubble, but no one is samefagging here. Everyone else just has more sense than you. You have the taste buds and attitude of a small child, and having a fart attack about tomatoes makes you look like an idiot.

Someone hasn't had a freshly sliced garden tomato.
Pic related is what they should look like. The pic in the OP looks awful. Tomatoes should never be that pale looking.

>>5621515
this and
>>5621560
this.
Sounds like you guys have had some shitty tomatoes.

>>5621515
>>5621537
>>5621560
>>5621561
All tomatoes suck. Period. They taste awful, the texture is awful, etc. You tomato loving hippies can just go fuck off with your bullshit okay?

>>5621608
Your unfortunate palette must be suffering.

I throw my pity your way. Stay strong.

>>5621616
My palette isn't suffering at all, but thanks for your concern babe; in fact it is I who has pity and concern for you. ;-)

People eat tomatoes from the supermarket and wonder why they hate them? Lel. Those are grown to be able to transport well not taste good. Fresh picked ripe tomatoes are GOAT.

>>5621643
I agree, fresh picked ripe tomatoes really are the Grossest Of All Time.

>>5621648
2/10 apply yourself

>>5621608
I just ate a garden fresh tomato sandwich, piled high with lovely, juicy, bright red beefsteak tomato, in honor of your shit-ass palate, OP. Your hate only makes my tomatoes grow stronger.

>>5621608
>>5621639
hey, image related.

fresh tomato with salt/pepper is good, also a dollop of mayo.

>>5621662
Thanks, Fred.

>>5621469
its actually a fruit

Well, brussel sprouts are pretty nasty, but I think tomatoes still come out on top.

>>5621652
you grow your own tomatoes and you pick fucking beefsteak?

>>5621669
Honestly I don't think this was staged...

a lot of greens are great with bacon grease, collard greens, brussel sprouts, cabbage, ect

>>5621652
Does anyone know the best way to kill tomato plants quickly and easily while not hurting the environment? Vinegar, perhaps? I know it works good on weeds so that means it should work good on tomatoes too since they're so similar, but I wanted to know if there was a better option.

>>5621652
>growing beefsteaks

Nothing makes me happier then a fresh tomato and a pinch of salt, other than blowjobs.

>>5621678
>Yes, because I said that's the ONLY kind of tomato I grow.
>implying beefsteak isn't the best for tomato sandwiches

Tomatoes are one of my favourite fruits. I used to hate them, but they are delicious. Especially cherry tomatoes. Yummy

>>5621670
see >>5621704, you dumb twat

Tomatoes are a fruit, a berry to be exact.

This is the most disgusting. They are hairy and they look like banana slices I once vomited up.

>>5621670
>>5621678
So you would rather have tiny ass tomatoes like in the OP?

>>5621722
i like kiwis tho
>eating the hair

>>5621704
they arent and you should have grown a better tomato like cherokee purple

>>5621724
My Black Krims are hardly small

>>5621746
wtf those things look way over ripened

>>5621754
i bet you eat green bananas

>>5621737
Do you really think for one second that
A. I don't grow multiple varieties of tomatoes
and
B. I give a shit about your opinion.
I've grown more tomato plants in my life than you've ever eaten.

>>5621760
Who eats tomato plants? You're supposed to consume the fruit, you nut.

>>5621760
>its the only kind I grow
>i grow multiple varieties
My family has been farmers for generations so I doubt youve grown more than me and even if you did it doesnt mean you know shit about tomatoes since you think beefsteak is the best there is.

>>5621759
no but tomatoes should never look this dark red.

>>5621774
>opinions

>>5621774
>My family has been farmers for generations
you're the perfect person to ask then

what causes my tomatoes to be so damn small? i don't think i'm picking them too early because they are getting deep red - but they are about half to 3/4 size of ones at the grocery store

>>5621778
depends on the variety dumb fuck.

>>5621774
opinions shared my the majority of tomato growers

>>5621778
>all varieties of tomatoes are the same color

He even stated the variety in his post, which if you google can see are a much deeper red than most.

>>5621783
its either the variety you are growing, or they arent getting enough food, or your climate is wrong or you planted them too late.

What strain, area, when did you plant them?

Artichoke best vegetable 2014

>>5621786
planted about 2 months ago in missouri
the celebrity tomatoes are growing pretty rapidly but are quite small
the la roma 2s are barely growing at all and are small

they get a ton of sunlight

>>5621795
are you growing anything else? how is it doing? it could be your soil. how much are you watering? also 2 months isnt that long a lot take atleast the long to start producing some up to like 80 days.

try cooking ocra

>>5621846
growing onions and some peppers
it is crowded in there but i don't know if it matters - 2 tomato plants, about 8 onions (which aren't getting big either), and 3 pepper plants in a 5x2x1 ft pit
i water about 4-5 gallons every day - sometimes every other day

>>5621863
ocra cooking in its own juices

>>5621869
juicy ocra...sorry oops okra

>>5621863
>ocra

>>5621872
have some!

>>5621872

10/10 would devour

>>5621868
they may be too crowded and it sounds like your soil sucks. Next year add some good soil but for now youll have to add some nutrients botanicare pro grow is a decent all purpose jsut make sure you mix with water and dont add too much,

be sure you only water in the evening time as well

also onions are a cold weather crop which is why they are doing shit

>>5621774
Yeah, whatever bucky. My family has also been farmers and ranchers for generations, and WHEN did I ever say beefsteak tomatoes are the best there is? Stop projecting, you huge faggot.

>>5621991
>best for sandwiches
is exactly what you said and they arent

>>5621560

I think your knife is dull

>>5621469
Only some tomatoes are good. Most are the grocery store ones on the vine or some pink thing like they serve at subway. When you get the really meaty ones (I've only had them from friend's gardens) that are deep red, you can't beat them.

Also, a lot of canned ones are shit for certain recipes. San Marzanos are necessary for pizza and a lot of red sauces but regular canned ones work fine in chili.

Those shit fast food tomatoes that thats like plastic and grit are garbage, for the longest time I thought I just didn't like tomatoes until I actually ate a proper one

>>5621674
anyone have the original of that?

>>5621560
This. I had some homegrown tomato recently and it was the best tomato I've ever had. Storebought are pitiful by comparison and fast food tomatoes are barely tomatoes.

>>5621869
>>5621872
>>5621876

This is something you can really only appreciate if you're from the South.

>>5621469
>Bait/10
Or maybe just stupid or have genetic deficiency and should be put down.

>>5621469

There's nothing better than a tomato fresh off the vine, yellowish orange, firm, tart, thinly sliced and sprinkled with salt.

>>5621778

NOT EVEN THE BLACK ONES?!?

>>5621722

Kiwi are great, but, I, unfortunately, cannot eat them anymore because the little seeds fuck up my bowels something fierce.

I don't know what's worse. The fact that they're are lame ass faggots like OP who start these threads just to incite a flame ware of "SHIT TASTE, MY OPINION > ALL" or the autistic nerds who respond to this seriously.
