In the few misfortunate events I've come upon, I can relate to you, friend, that the experience can be most likened to having cold spit with curd mincing around in your mouth. Simply revolting. And the taste is no better. It is thus that I come to rate the tomato as an atrocity. And I do so in the hopes that I might illuminate the good folk who may hear my beseeching, to expel them of their ignorance, that they may cease in their rotten wont to consume such a morsel. As Socrates says ignorance is the one evil, so I avail all of this knowledge; and I am compelled to do so for the sake of virtue! Cease the use of this foul morsel, my friends, that none may suffer further from the reviled thing!
- lovich 5y agoKinda wish mind transfer was a thing so I could experience how fucked up your taste buds must be. I can see what your saying on texture but there is no way tomatoes taste bad given their prevalence in so many countries food.
- pengaru 5y agoThe tasteless "conventional" varieties found in chain grocers across the USA are basically inedible if you're turned off by the texture, since there's not much more than the texture being experienced. This applies in varying degrees to practically all the "conventional" fruits and vegetables I encounter. Even if you don't buy into the organic health arguments, it at least tends to have more appropriate flavor and less chemical aftertastes.
- lovich 5y agoI’m referencing tomato flavor in general. Ketchup, tomato based sauces, and tomato paste are default flavors in more than a third of the planets population just based on the us, Italy, India, and France that I know use it in daily cuisine. That doesn’t even cover the continent where tomatoes are native to, or any other culture that may eat the tomato routinely. The poster I replied to is basically stating that they can’t understand why more than 1/3rd of the population at minimum, likes the flavor incomplete error because they personally don’t like the flavor
- brnaftr361 5y agoA simple explanation my friend: the unwashed masses are, with good effort, making an attempt to adopt an affectation of good taste. "This fine vegetable is an acquired taste, say they. But it is evident to anyone who can be imputed with, in the real sense of the word, "fine tastes" that it is precisely an affectation undertaken to give the impression they have some degree of sophistication. But what you've said, sir, is concerned with a fallacy in any case. Would you so blithely recommend Nickelback on the presumption that because it is popular it is good, and it is good because it is popular? I suspect so, but a man of sophistication, refinement, and class such as myself can in no wise commit to espousing such a view! "To consort with the crowd is harmful; there is no person who does not make some vice attractive to us, or stamp it upon us, or taint us unconsciously therewith." or so Seneca says! Avail yourself of the knowledge I have yielded to you, assent and ascend my friend!
- paulcole 5y ago> This fine vegetable is an acquired taste Never once have I heard anyone say this about tomatoes. I find it much more likely that you’ve have somehow only ever had bad tomatoes, have bad taste yourself, or are being intentionally contrarian.
