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.
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.
