And what is their opinion on impromptu barbecues?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As long as you don't cook with apples like they're tomatoes.

Applesauce pizza.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Toss some nicely seasoned and shredded pork loin on that, I'd try it. Be an absolute soggy atrocity of a pizza, and I don't know how I'd feel about the cheese factor, but on a theoretical level, this isn't the worst idea.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

If you've never tried a melted slice of cheddar cheese on top of a warm slice of apple pie you really should. When my great aunt suggested it to me I was incredulous, but after I tried it I was beyond thoroughly convinced.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Pork with apple and cheese is amazing. I usually do pork chops with apple sauce spread fairly thinly on top, and grated mature cheddar on top of that, then cook it under the grill (broil?) as usual.

You'd have to spread the apple sauce thinly on the pizza too, but, yeah, that could work :)

Pulled fresh off the vine, little dose of salt (garlic salt if you're feeling froggy), and enjoy. The sun warmed fruit is quite luxurious when properly ripened. I'm particularly fond of Roma tomatoes in this fashion.

Rosemary salt

Hear me out!

Toast + feta + tomato + olive oil = essential

Bonus ingredient: fresh green onion

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You're missing chunky ground pepper and salt. Salt is amazing on tomato. Unless you're using danish fetta or another rich fetta.

Greekschetta?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

My grandpa used to do that with onions after peeling them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

White onion? Lovely with a pinch of salt :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

As did my grandpa. With salt.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I remember seeing a collection of Twitter posts from Americans of them being weirded out with people eating "raw tomatoes". I guess to them if they're not cooked they're "raw" lol which does fit with the stereotype.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Like firm beefsteak tomatoes or juicy hothouse tomatoes?

Since tomatoes are so juicy inside I don't see how one could eat them like an apple without juice going everywhere when taking a bite.

I like the little grape sized tomatoes and will eat them as they come because the juice is contained in my mouth when I bite into it. I slice and will eat common tomatoes, with a little salt and pepper for seasoning. It is the assumed messiness that keeps me from trying to eat one like an apple.

I thought everyone did this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure. Sometimes with a little sprinkle of salt.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

My mum does the same. I never understood the appeal, but... hey, it's not like the kind of stuff that I eat is "normal" either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Like radishes with a dash of salt please

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

So what? Come back when you eat eggs that way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Have you tried talking to a therapist about this?

And if you salt it, just take yourself straight to jail.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't knock it til you've tried it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I really can't say much, because my wife does that same thing, I just have some weird issue with tomato. I like the flavor, I like tomato in things, but I cannot stand just having a hunk of tomato in my mouth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Have you tried talking to a therapist about this? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, some people have texture issues. My bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My wife salts hers after taking the first bite. I (playfully) give her hell about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You should post this in Unpopular Opinion too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do that with kiwis after i peeled them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I eat kiwis whole. Love the taste and texture.

Mmm, and I don't have any in the house

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Beefsteak tomatoes fresh out the garden are a treat eaten like an apple. Or a cylinder cross section sliced like 1" thick on some toast with mayo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I've not done this for a very long time, but I used to eat them like that aswell

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I like to eat a tomato like it's a seedless grape.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Y’all should try a big fresh juicy tomato 🍅 with some kimchi 🤤

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

you can be part of my quirky, mostly incompetent, but somehow effective rag tag group of misfits bouncing their way across the galaxy.. we'll save people and stuff, but we'll spend most of our energy scamming our way through the totally unfair gates and obstacles The Man throws up at us.. you'll be the one who keeps track of where all the best roadside produce stands are..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's fine and I want to recommend grape tomatoes. Each little red thing comes with a sweet and wet pop.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I do that with green peppers.
