Who loves tomatoes???????

[DainBramaged]

LOVE love love love love love love love 'em.

And I don't care if they are "considered" fruit. When did you put fruit in your tomato sauce, or in your soup? And not cold soup, hot hot hot soup or stew.

I love love love love love love 'em.

[XemaSab]

1. allergic

:(

[DainBramaged]

2. Oh so sorry, what a sentence for life.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :hug:

[Redstone]

5. Now, THAT is truly tragic. It's easy for me to live with my shellfish allergy,

but tomatoes? I do genuinely feel for you, and I'm NOT being sarcastic.

20. Sorry! I have a friend who's allergic to all citric acid: tomatoes, lemons, limes, oranges

pineapple, grapefruit, strawberries. I feel sooooooooooooooo bad for her because those are all some of my favorite foods. And she looooooooves the smell of all citrus, so I know she'd like it too if she could have it.

I wish they could figure out how to teach the body's immune system not to react to harmless food.

[Redstone]

3. Nobody loves 'em more than I do. Tomato sandwiches for breakfast! On Portuguese bread,

with a slosh of mayo...oh yes.

[AggieGal]

10. Had my first Jersey Tomato in 95.

It was also my first tomatoe sandwich. Yummy!!

[MsKandice01]

9. Ack! Ptooey!

I can't do tomatoes. The taste is just fine but that slimy part where the seeds are just really squicks me out.

[Sanity Claws]

11. Tomato lover here!

I remember growing beefsteak tomatoes in my backyard, slicing them right off the vine, and putting them on Italian bread with butter. My mouth waters just thinking of it.

[otherlander]

29. I don't have enough sun for growing tomatoes

but if I find really ripe ones in the store, there are few things more delicious than a salad made entirely of tomatoes and feta cheese. :9

[cobalt1999]

12. I did the Creole Tomato Festival last weekend in New Orleans.

Lots of creole tomato based foods. Heaven.

[Lethe]

13. count me in

but the best tomatoes are always home grown in the garden. They are so good you can eat them right off the stalk with some salt. I mean, there is like no comparison. (tomato snob here) :D

[DainBramaged]

14. Friday tomato frenzy

[hellbound-liberal]

15. Only if they are from Hanover County Virginia. They are the "Vidalia Onion" of tomatoes!

I have never eaten any that compare to the ones that are grown here.

[Richard Steele]

[grace0418]

18. Love them! I love when you get fresh vine tomatoes and you rub the stems.

It's one of my favorite smells.

Last night I made whole wheat flatbread with olive tapenade, fresh sliced tomatoes, basil and parmesan. 5 minutes in a HOT oven and MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

[barb162]

19. yum yum, just the red ones

[montanto]

I spend month in Italy last fall. Tuscan tomatoes and Tuscan wine. Nothing better.

[Critters2]

I can't wait until my plants are yielding their crop.

[femmocrat]

27. Fresh garden tomatoes are the best.

We actually have a couple of green cherry tomatoes already, but we won't harvest the big ones until August. I planted 18 heirloom tomatoes this year, so I can't wait to see how they turn out.

[Debi]

28. I've been baking tomatos w/cheese lately

slice up a tomato and dip the slices in any Italian Dressing.

sprinkle the slices w/parmesan cheese and place on baking tin.

bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes

take out and top w/mozzerella cheese and place back in oven for about 2 minutes.

Let cool for about 5 min and eat away...

:bounce:

Can't wait to grill em!!

[DainBramaged]

31. YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM

I HAVE to try that

[IDemo]

32. had bruschetta mozzerella for dinner last night

add the tomatoes, mozzarella, garden fresh basil (whole or chopped), and chopped green onions to sliced French or Italian bread brushed with olive oil/vinegar/garlic, and bake until cheese begins to brown. Devour.:9

[Debi]

34. Since I'm from Iowa I add corn to my bruchetta

need to pre-cook it so it's not sooo crunchy but it adds a nice mellow taste.

Man...I'm getting hungry!!!!! :bounce:

[1gobluedem]

38. Me!

I eat grape tomatoes by the handful, like candy.

Ever hear Guy Clark's Home Grown Tomatoes? Here are the lyrics:

There's nothin' in the world that I like better than
Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes
Up in the morning and out in the garden
Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un
Plant 'em in the springtime eat 'em in the summer
All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin' and the diggin'
Every time I go out and pick me a big'un

{Refrain}
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What'd life be without home grown tomatoes
There's only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

You can go out and eat 'em, that's for sure
But there's nothin' a home grown tomato won't cure
You can put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew
You can make your own, very own tomato juice
You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy
You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
Put em on the side, put em on the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

{Refrain}

If I could change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed
I know what this country needs
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
Out in the garden would be much better
Where I could be pushin' up home grown tomatoes

{Refrain twice}

[mopinko]

39. the worst part of getting old and falling apart- no seeds or nuts,

so the only way i can have tomatoes is if they are seeded. no more stuffing them straight into my mouth, still warm from the sun. although we are growing an heirloom pink beefsteak again this year that is VERY meaty, with very few seeds.
homegrown tomatoes. almost as gloriously delicious as beer.
