I don't like, or eat raw tomatoes, but I only wish I did, they look so succulent.
How can it be that something that looks so good, doesn't appeal to me?
I've tried, but I just don't like the taste.
However, if they are in a cooked meal, Indian for example, I'll eat them, likewise if I'm in Dixie and see fried green tomatoes on a menu, I'll go for them all day long.
Somehow I have the feeling that I've posted this before, maybe it was another forum, I hope so.
I don't like the taste of eating a tomato at all and in fact, would say I hate it. If I were to bite into one as if it were an apple, I'd feel like I'd want to retch -- the sheer taste, the texture etc. all feels distasteful to me.
I don't like it at all, but I'm fine with a slice of tomato in a sandwich or whatever so long as it is a small thin slice and drowned out by the flavour of other things (though you may ask, why eat it at all if you dislike it). I also quite like bruschetta though which I thought to myself was kind of odd, but then again I don't really taste the tomato-like taste strongly in it among the other flavours.
I'm okay with tomato-based sauces and ketchup though and don't dislike them at all. To me, it's different from the taste of raw tomato itself.
Anyone else? Is this common would you say? I don't really care if I'm weird -- I'm just curious as to if any others feel this way.
I used to be this way (though couldn't even stand a thin slice in a sandwich) until a friend told me about putting salt on them. Now I can't get enough of tomatoes! Never thought I would like them. I like cherry/grape/romas the best, but any will do. Without salt on them, still think they're gross. I used to order sandwiches without tomatoes, but now when I do I take them out and put salt on them and eat it that way; still don't like them in sandwiches, hamburgers, etc.
Let's face it: most of the year, in much of the country, raw tomatoes are worthless. I love them in the summer, but I wouldn't pay five cents for a pound of them ten months out of the year. I love them when they're good. I eat them with mozzarella and pesto during August and September, for as long as they last.
Sauces made with canned tomatoes are a completely different product. I don't find them comparable.
I used to hate tomatoes in any form outside of sauce or ketchup Or salsa.
I realized that I had eaten too many bad and tasteless tomatoes.
Now I like fresh ones, but only if it is tomato season. Cherry tomatoes can be tolerable at off-peak times. But I'd rather just not eat tomatoes fresh if they aren't tasty.
I don't like tomatoes in sandwiches or anything. They make things soggy to me!
It's the same or worse with onions..
If I had a dollar for every time I heard I hate onions, cant eat onions, I'm allergic!!!
Onions are in just about every savory food ever made..
Apples and giraffes. Onions aren't a thing that are only good two months out of the year.
