Question by espers_cypher: Do you like your tomatoes raw or cooked?
I have *hated* veggies since I was young, being forced to eat them every single day… But ever since I discovered the tomato, I got hooked! It’s the most delicious vegetable in the whole world!!! Cooked, that is.
My favourite is cherry tomatoes, those tiny, round, plump, savoury bombshells =a They complement almost any soup-y dish. The contrasting taste of salty (soup) and sweet (tomato), and the way they burst in your mouth at just a light prod with your front teeth… Heavenly! T_T
*But* I hate raw tomatoes. Especially the big ones. They taste *nothing* like cooked ones. Every single person I ask likes raw tomatoes. They’re sour! In a not-so-delicious way. Cooked tomatoes are sweet! How can you *not* like them better?
So which do you like better, and why?

I love a good tomato sandwich and of course tomato sauce
As a committed tomato lover, I must entreat you to try a perfect raw tomato before passing judgement on all raw tomatoes.
Keep in mind that most tomatoes you find in a grocery store, and most farmer’s markets too, were picked when the fruit was green, then allowed to ripen to their red color on the way to market.
A true “vine-ripened” tomato has quite a different taste and texture. The skins tend to be thinner, the flesh sweet and not sour. Refrigerated tomatoes lose texture and flavor. A sun-warmed, fresh picked, ripe tomato from the vine is how you should experience a raw tomato.
Try growing a heirloom cherry tomato variety in a pot this next season. Keeping them on the vine until ripe is a problem though, as squirrels and chipmunks will do anything to steal them.
baked tomatoes and rice rocks.
I like both : )
prefer the raw tomatoes… then the cooked ones
veggies should be cooked properly.. they should be properly cooked, proper amt of spice, salt.. then they taste good
I can’t stand raw tomatoes on a sandwich. I love all tomatoes as long as they’re cooked, though.
