I seriously hate tomatoes, yet I love tomato sauce.

I can't really think of another vegetable (or fruit, fuck you botanists) where I feel the same way about it.

These retards have never had a tomato right off the vine still warm from the suns rays

Its one of the best tasting things I have ever had
Some salt and thats it
Store Roma tomatoes or even the ones "off the vine" are shit tier compared to home grown or loom maters

>no taste

In other words, you've never eaten garden fresh tomatoes. Sucks to be you.

You're correct about that, my man.


Kind of like how I thought I always hated beans, then my co-worker gave me some from his home garden. My god, they were fucking delicious. Maybe I'm just missing out on good tomatoes versus grocery store slop.

I've had fresh tomatoes from my own parent's backyard

They did not taste much better

Also the "best" store maters are called campari they are around 4$ per lb/container
They are pretty good tasting for a store tomato

My guess is they had a commercial seed

Actually, that pretty much sums up my entire childhood relationship with vegetables. It's almost as if parents are setting up their kids for obesity by feeding them that shit.

I just don't like tomatoes man

They complement other foods really well

But on their own they taste bad

My neighbour has vine tomatoes and a fucking bat kid that throws them at my dog.

Some weekends when I can hear the kid bratting it up outside I take some cheap ass tomatoes and throw them at passing cars windshields. I once pegged an old woman in the side of the face through the open passenger window.
The kid get the shit spanked out of him.

Fuck your tomatoes.

Tomatoes for the supermarket are generally picked at the breaker stage, or, the moment they show any other color asides green on them. Once a tomato has reached this stage, it can be picked at any time, and will steadily continue to turn red. At this stage of green tomato, though, it is VASTLY more sturdy, and thus handles shipping far better. Once in the supermarket, the average consumer, being so far removed from the farm, has no fucking clue what they're eating. Given that they're even accustomed to the tomatoes from places like Subway, where the tomatoes are refrigerated (cooling a tomato below 40 degrees Fahrenheit causes it to metabolize it's sugars into starches, making it grainy tasting) they find that this tomato is actually better than they expect.

Sad, isn't it?

I grew up in the country. I know what I'm missing.

Tomatoes are largely interchangeable. The only rule I use is that romas are generally for sauce. I think they have a higher average sugar content, though I could be wrong. I've put them on BLTs before, though, and it worked just fine.

Wow, really? Where do you live? Did you have them in a greenhouse?

Unfortunately, I only have recommendations for tomato sauce and gazpacho, if you have that many tomatoes to deal with. I also like to freeze a thin tomato sauce.

Inner city of Melbourne. Tomatoes are pretty hardy plants, it was spring when I started throwing old tomatoes into my backyard for compost and they just started to grow from that.

Also thanks for the ideas anons

Can them, they'll last 20+ years if done properly, and you need good, nutritious food to survive when shit hits the fan.
