We have eyes. We eat with our eyes. In fact, we buy with our eyes too. A sign saying "Trust me, I taste good because I was genetically engineered to!" doesn't exactly cut it for me. Outside of an odd berry or grape, you can't sample fruit before you buy it, and there's even no guarantee that that one tomato is going to taste like the one next to it, since you don't know how well (or not) the store is handling them once they get their hands on them...
I say this, but then again, it seems like I always complain about the tomatoes, no matter where I buy them. Show me a better tomato. Please.
- bluedino 13y ago>> We have eyes. We eat with our eyes. Shoppers BUY with their eyes as well. A bright red, smooth, round, large tomato sells much faster than a dented, small, oddly shaped tomato. When it's cooked into a sauce you're never going to see it anyway. >> Show me a better tomato. Please. Grow your own. Heirloom tomatoes are very 'ugly' but they have so much flavor compared to those pink-ish orange softballs at the grocery stores.
- jessaustin 13y agoYeah, in most temperate climes tomatoes grow REALLY easily during the summer. (In tropical climes they grow easily the rest of the year.) Right now we're picking several gallons of tomatoes every couple of days, and this is from a garden I haven't weeded or tended really at all in like a month. (Well I did run a lawnmower over the non-tomato half of the garden a couple of weeks ago. That doesn't really deserve the name of "gardening".)
- gknoy 13y agoDo you refrigerate your tomatoes? I often had terrible tasting tomatoes when I did, as refrigerating them makes their taste change significantly.
