I like to imagine you just have uncut and cooked cherry tomatoes between two pieces of toast

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why, is there a better way? They roll everywhere...

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uncut cherry tomatoes in a tortilla wrap. It's actually what I'm eating right now (well, not just tomatoes; it's also got chicken and chopped-up celery.)

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

Ah yes. I too love being surprised by food exploding in my mouth

[–] Absolutemehperson 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just the food?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] badbytes 19 points 2 years ago

And put some kind of sauce, like mayo, and you've made a tomato slip and slide.

[–] healer_56 9 points 2 years ago

If you put butter on the bread and then directly the tomatoes on it they stick to it and will not Slip out. Don't put them between ham and cheese!

At least you have tomatoes you'd like to eat. Living in Scandinavia makes good, larger tomatoes a raaare sighting

[–] tacosplease 2 points 2 years ago

This is such a weird idea to me. Tomatoes are everywhere where I live and they also grow very well here.

Now what good food is always in your grocery store that I have a hard time buying in the US?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

More like the avocado.

Every time I hear the phrase “You’ll never take me alive” my rotting brain appends “ahhhhhhhhhhh” to the end of it lol

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

As it should

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Why don't you guys use sauces made using tomatoes? I've always hated tomatoes in my sandwich. Forget them falling out... Biting into them is disgusting as well!

[–] Quarky 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tomatoes are the best, blasphemy to have sauce instead of tomato slices. 🍅

[–] Psaldorn 6 points 2 years ago

Hit them with the salt.. flavourbombs.

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

I would like the time to share my 3d printed cube tomato mold. Get the perfect slice for your sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because biting into them is delicious.

Euggh rlly? R u like a goat or something?

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

I wish. Just chilling on a vertical stone wall, munchin' tomatoes, that sounds like a good day to me.

[–] obinice 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because then I'd lose the wonderful texture of a good tomato, sauces are just not the same.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah they're wet and acidic and taste wack, I ain't putting that shit in my sammich! (Soz if you do like tomatos lol)

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

I find it interesting that you call them acidic. I've never had a tomato which tasted acidic to me, except maybe if they aren't ripe yet.

In fact, it's quite common to add vinegar to tomatoes (ketchup, tomato salad, various dishes with balsamic vinegar). So, yeah, maybe your sense of taste picks up on some molecule that others can't taste...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've never really like... eaten acid tbh. I had the druggo kind you put into small paper squares, I wouldn't recommend that either tbh!

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

Ah, I thought, you were being fanciful with your wording, because acid simply tastes sour. Lemons, apples, vinegar, they all taste sour, because they contain acid.

I just looked it up, by the way, and tomatoes apparently do contain acid, too. I guess, it's just not usually the prevalent taste to me...

[–] cybervseas 1 points 2 years ago

If you put raw tomato on a sandwich it has to be the most perfectly ripened flavorful tomato known to man. Otherwise you're just adding water/juice.

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

I try, but then people make fun of me for putting ketchup on a turkey sandwich.

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

My cousin always used to eat his thanksgiving turkey with ketchup, despite my mom making the best goddamn gravy in the known universe and slightly beyond.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Ketchup tastes good with literally anything.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's not that weird. People eat chicken nuggets with ketchup and hotdogs too

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

Ketchup and tomatoes are like completely different tastes though

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Well yeah, give me a tomato any day. I just meant I've seen way weirder/worse.

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

Don't get me started on the whole fucking hotdog debacle...I just don't like mustard that much...
