I'm also that guy. And every time I say I don't like raw tomatoes someone pipes up with "Well you just haven't had a good one."

I promise you, I have had what people call a good tomato and I still didn't like it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hate all tomatoes.

Went to Italy on vacation and was like what the hell I'll try it here. Delicious, amazingly different. Normally tomatoes taste like spoiled ham to me (best way I can describe it) but not there

Came back home to the states.... Tried again, garbage.

No idea if it was dressed up, or freshness but yeah.

Having grown tomatoes in my garden for several years now, I get why people think regular store tomatoes are gross. Even the good looking ones are already dead. Their flavor only lasts maybe a week and it dies off quickly. There's nothing like a tomato picked and eaten the same day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

If someone gave me a tomato that didn't have the texture of one, then that isn't a tomato.

The taste is less of a problem.

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

It's exactly my sister as well.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it's the texture of the tomato, not the taste

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

Yeah I can totally understand that, I have the same issue with mushrooms

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

Mushrooms and eggplants for me... outside of the delicious berenjas con miel which are sliced thin enough and fried crisp enough to lose their chew!

White onions for me

Every single time i accidentally eat any white onion that hasnt been cooked into mush my brain immediately decides it has just eaten a cockroach and it must be ejected. For good measure better evacuate the stomach too

You monster

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

In South Asia we eat eaw onions with street food.

[–] Noobnarski 1 points 2 months ago

I dont have to vomit from onions but especially the aftertaste really isn't ver pleasant to me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow I don't know this is common enough for memes I thought it's just me lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Kinda the secondary purpose of these communities

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

Consistency in both meanings of the word?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Texture consistency, mainly

[–] themeatbridge 4 points 2 months ago

But also consistency in preferences. You enjoy foods that are delicious, and abhor food that is filled with gooey boogers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Tomatoes actually make me want to vomit. Peppers aren't as bad (especially spicy ones because the spice helps cover up the texture), and I will happily eat salsa, tomato sauce, ketchup, catsup (I swear catsup and ketchup taste slightly different), and basically anything with tomatoes so long as they're small and consistent enough. However, the texture of raw tomatoes? Eugh. Cherry tomatoes are worse. They pop in your mouth like eyeballs. Ew.

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

Yay, more tomatoes for me πŸ˜‹

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It is the texture.

Tomatoes have the texture of a rotting apple filled with snot.

The taste might be amazing, but the texture is horrific. It only works if the texture is completely gone, like when mixed in a sauce or other foods.

Oral allergy syndrome moment (allergy to proteins in certain fruits/vegetables due to similarity to other more common allergens like trees/grasses, thus meaning you cant eat them raw but you can eat them cooked)

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

I don't like raw tomatoes because they're too spicy, my mouth gets all tingly

[–] Gustephan 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I felt this way until the first time I had a tomato that had never been refrigerated. Turns out that the enzymes that make tomatos taste good denatures at fridge temps, and makes them taste like grainy mush. If you ever get a chance to try a fresh tomato, I can't guarantee you'll like it but I can guarantee it's a significantly different taste and texture than the cold ruined tomatoes you find at a grocery store

[–] Noobnarski 3 points 2 months ago

It could also be that the tomato you tasted was selectively bred for taste, while the grocery store tomatoes are selectively bred for looks and robustness.

[–] uid0gid0 4 points 2 months ago

I can't eat raw tomatoes because the gooey inside makes me barf. Yes I am a child about it. I can eat tomatoes prepared any other way, I especially like sun-dried.

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

The one constant in all those sauces in the meme, other than tomato paste, is sugar. With enough sugar, almost anything is edible if nit downright tasty. Looking at you rhubarb.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

My wife starts shivering just thinking about eating a tomato but when eating my bolognose, which I do not add a single gram of sugar, says she likes tomato sauce. Just not tomatoes πŸ˜…

Salt and pepper on a fresh picked tomato from the garden! Heaven on a plate

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

Slap it between some white bread with mayo and you have my summer favorite!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Certain beans, too, for me. Mainly the really meaty ones. I like the taste, but once I bite in and that texture hits my tongue, I can't do it. I have tried so many times.

What's really weird to me is that I don't hate bean paste. Like, you offer me a snack with red bean paste? I'm all over it. Not even a second thought.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

it's not about the taste, it's about the consistency

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

If it isn't processed and full with sugar, I can't eat it

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

Hey, that second array is the whole diet of someone I knew in university who "hated sauce".

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

Well now I know your guy's weakness

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

I also have a similar inconsistency with carrots, raw they're fine, baked they're fine too. But when it's cooked it tastes awful.

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

i hate lemon. lemon baked goods remind me of puke

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

Both are good. Both also cause a burning feeling from lower throat to bottom sternum that culminates with a stabbing sensation courtesy of Vlad the impaler straight through the back.

These are tasty bastards any way you eat them, but the heartburn and indigestion are increasingly not worth it.

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

Uh, you sure, you're not somehow allergic or something? I glug pureed tomatoes like there's no tomorrow and I've never had heartburn or indigestion from them.

[–] tuxtey 4 points 2 months ago

I second this question. I get the same feeling with gluten. It's not the emergency type of allergy, but it inflames my stomach and intestines like nothing else.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 1 points 2 months ago

Mayo, cheddar and tomatoes is one of my go to veggie sandwiches

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

My friend calls them "tainted water." I love them though, I mean I have Italian ancestry so I think it's like a law or something that I need to love them.
