A lot of tomato problems go away when you sharpen your knives.

The tomatoes perceive the threat as more serious.

if tomatoes are required to be cut, roma is the best variety as they contain the least amount of stupid slimy goo

And the flavor of good ones is so good.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

the ones that smell slightly minty have about a 50% chance of being really tasty, in my experience

also pro tip if you're at a self checkout, whatever tomatoes you have are now magically the cheapest kind. isn't that convenient!

I do this with all fruit and veg and feel no ounce of remorse over it.

Jeopardy told me recently that the Supreme clownshow declared tomatoes a vegetable

Yeah, apparently there was a Supreme Court case about whether tomatoes would be taxed as a fruit or vegetable
