My friend calls them “tainted water.” I love them though, I mean I have Italian ancestry so I think it’s like a law or something that I need to love them.

I also have a similar inconsistency with carrots, raw they’re fine, baked they’re fine too. But when it’s cooked it tastes awful.

Both are good. Both also cause a burning feeling from lower throat to bottom sternum that culminates with a stabbing sensation courtesy of Vlad the impaler straight through the back.

These are tasty bastards any way you eat them, but the heartburn and indigestion are increasingly not worth it.

Uh, you sure, you’re not somehow allergic or something? I glug pureed tomatoes like there’s no tomorrow and I’ve never had heartburn or indigestion from them.

I second this question. I get the same feeling with gluten. It’s not the emergency type of allergy, but it inflames my stomach and intestines like nothing else.

I felt this way until the first time I had a tomato that had never been refrigerated. Turns out that the enzymes that make tomatos taste good denatures at fridge temps, and makes them taste like grainy mush. If you ever get a chance to try a fresh tomato, I can’t guarantee you’ll like it but I can guarantee it’s a significantly different taste and texture than the cold ruined tomatoes you find at a grocery store

It could also be that the tomato you tasted was selectively bred for taste, while the grocery store tomatoes are selectively bred for looks and robustness.
