Tomatoes: what you've been missing
August 03, 2008
So, by now you're probably avoiding jalapeno peppers due to the recent scare. And for most of the summer, you've been avoiding tomatoes because of doodie contamination.
I've been avoiding them too. Then again, I always avoid tomatoes, because they are pretty crappy 99% of the time, not just when they're, well, crappy.
Here are some snaps of some of what you've been denying yourself:
MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Unripe, mealy, stemmy, not sweet, not acidic tomatoes.
Imagine the amount of energy and money we'd save if we didn't bother growing, picking, shipping, buying, slicing, and chucking these things?
