Why is it so popular?

Why is it so popular?
Outside of sauce and salad there is practically no use for tomato
I haven't eaten any tomato in years and I don't miss them

That's cause you buy them at Walmart/supermarket

Me in the back.

Tomatoes are shit only good for pizz and BLT

they go great with beer
literally the only food i can tolerate with any kind of beer

jesus christ. I saw an orangutan feeding a tiger cub from a bottle today, and THIS is the shit that makes my jaw drop.

burgers, gryos, salads, roast for soup, italian gravy, salsa, guac, tacos, full english, pizza x 2, bloody marys... just everything.

I just eat them raw. They're actually quite tasty and filling

All you've done is make me want a delicious tomato sandwich

is it weird i eat my tomato sandwiches open faced with a knife and fork?

no

I eat them every day

I hope you get raped by a pack of niggers.

Tomatoes are disgusting, cucumbers are the master race of produce.

and yet.. Gyros have tomatoes, cucumber, tzatziki and feta with some seasoning salt over that delicious ambrosia.

Tomato and Cheese is the god tier food combination

Why is captcha asking me about parachutes?

>Why is captcha asking me about parachutes?

because pickled nipples where already mountain anused.

>I just eat them raw. They're actually quite tasty and filling
Right on man. I always eat them whole. I can deal with them sliced though.

Eggs. You forgot eggs.
Fuck, I love me some huevos rancheros.

it's supposedly good for you.

so salad and sauce?
great

what do you want it to do, transform into steak?

I cut them into 1/8ths, salt them a bit and eat them with cottage cheese. Also, they belong on, virtually, every cold sandwich and most burgers.

too hot you for, white boy?

>not eating tomatoes like apples

mfer knows what he's talking about.

When is the tomato ripeness taste the best? Right after buying them?

buying has nothing to do with ripeness. If they're firm like a cucumber, they're under ripe. If they feel like a.. shit, pickle? they're ready. If they feel like a squishy grape, you need to eat them or stew them immediately.

Everyone has their own preferences, but if you don't like tomato, I'm certain it's more the case that you've simply never eaten a *good* tomato. Consumers are used to supermarket varieties that are beautiful, plump ones that are watery to the taste. There's no discernable smell. Put them in a salad and any other dish and they just blend into the background. That's not to say that all produce in supermarkets is bad, but tomatoes above many other vegetables seems to have suffered when being grown for maximum yield.

I never felt a shit pickle, thank god.

I just laughed so hard at shit pickle. They're not wonderful. jesus..

>but if you don't like tomato
i didnt say i dont like tomato
just that tomato is underwhelming and too overrated
good tomato is still just tomato
i can have pizza without sauce, i can think of a million alternatives for pasta

cherry tomatoes with basil feta and olive oil
optional salt and pepper
You're welcome

ans soups and topings.

wow, edgy

This. Warm tomatoes straight off the vine and god tier food.

Cherry/grape tomato caprese >>>> traditional caprese

you eat pizza with a knife and fork?

Dear user,

Please come back to me I miss you.

Sincerely yours,

Oh wait, no one gives a shit.

y'all should try an open-faced lettuce, tomato, cheese and fried egg sandwhich (mayo optional). that shit gets me going in the mornign

sounds pretty good. i assume this is on toast? what kind of bread? knife and fork?

what kind of beer are you drinking that pairs with a straight up tomato

I don't think i've ever eaten a tomato and enjoyed it.
my sister eats them with mayonnaise on them its fucking disgusting

Get you a good Cherokee purple tomato. You'll thank me later...

>not being able to enjoy the simple pleasure of a buttered toast with tomato slices
Pure deliciousness. You can add some basil if you're feeling adventurous

Roast them you nuggur

Mayo and tomato on toast is great.
Add a bit of salt to the mayo to make it even better.
Add some lettuce for some cool crispness.
Replace salt with bacon for saltiness and flavor.
Replace mayo with guac for taste and healthiness.
Now we understand why tomato is the star of the LGBT.

>Bruscheta
>toast

oh man, a Bruschetta isnt a tomato slice on toast.

Toasted Ciabatta slices
half an onion clove and rub it on the crusty bread
dice ripe tomatoes, mix with olive oil, salt,pepper, basil

>being so pleb you don't eat raw umami bombs

>tfw I diced a couple tomatoes and ate them in a salad just a couple of hours ago

I laugh at plebs who can't appreciate the subtle complexity of the humble tomato.
