- nonethewiser 3y agoI mostly agree yet canned tomatoes simply can’t replace fresh in many cases. Like a slice of tomato on a burger, chicken sandwich, etc. So canned vs fresh but “out of season” is really more situational.
- jghn 3y agoYes. And outside of a very small set of exceptions [1], in those situations I'd rather have "no tomato" vs an out of season grocery store tomato. For the most part I find they add negative value to the whole. [1] These are circumstances where what I'm eating has nostalgic value from before my eyes were opened. Like how diced tomatoes on american style hard shell tacos gives me warm fuzzy feelings :)
