    Yea! What gives? People will eat a wonderfully cooked and prepared steak but turn their nose up at an unseasoned chunk of raw beef. They also prefer soft bread over raw flour. Gosh, it sure is a mystery why people have these preferences! As we all know, cooking and food preparation do absolutely nothing and the end result tastes exactly like the raw ingredients.

    The taste of tomatoes/ketchup is great.

    The texture of tomatoes is horryfing and makes me shiver and gag.

    They are not the same.

      Disagree. The taste of tomatoes is horrendous until cooked and salted. That said, fried and salted Pico de gallo is one of the absolute best baguette toppings

      Yeah, it’s a texture thing for me, too.

      Some people like a good contrast of textures in food. I prefer consistency. So I hate anything in a burger that has any amount of cold or crunch. Mushrooms I can do, but tomatoes make it worse for me.

      Especially when you fail to bite all the way through the tomato and end up pulling the whole thing out along with half the other burger toppings.

      Homegrown tomatoes are awesome, especially with a pinch if salt and I say that as someone who grew up as a tomato hater

        Grocery store tomatoes are waxy, bred for shipping, not taste. In Europe, no one would ship a tomato.

          From grocery stores I only buy local tomatoes or cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes are fine for cooking even though they are from morocco so quite a bit away, I am guessing because they are so small and firm they don’t need to harvest too early.

    Why tf does this guy’s clothing perfectly blend with his environment? It’s like he went out shopping with a picture of this building and went “I need something that’ll have this colour palette”.

    I’m fine with tomatoes on as burger. The problem is that at the intersection of the two tomatoes they tend to be thicker than the patty and overwhelm the rest of the burger. If I wanted to eat a tomato, I would have just eaten a tomato.

      I love diced tomato and tolerste fried tomatoes but raw tomatoes make my top ten least favourite veggies. They exist to be pulverised into delicious sauces which magically improve everything they touch
