    Had a garden tomato yet? Like one that hasn’t been picked unripe, refrigerated, shipped across the country and left to ripen artificially on a shelf so it ends up tasting like water and disappointment?

      See? I knew there’d be at least one.

      I’ve literally grown my own tomatoes because people kept telling me this. And even fresh off the vine, still warm from the sun, it tastes and feels like a tomato.

        There’s always at least one of those fuckos.

        I’m just glad we’re finally on a thread where we’re not getting downvotes to hell.

      Yes. I’ve had the fanciest tomatoes that people rave over and I still hate them raw. It’s like tomato lovers just can’t fathom that they just taste gross to some people. Cooked tomatoes are great, raw are not for me.

        Ok yeah then that’s valid, some people just don’t like raw tomatoes. I just wanted to make sure you didn’t just get a “fancy tomato” from the store and decided you didn’t like it.
