Tomatoes in a burger looks good
But theyre way too watery and just ruin it
Tomatoes used to taste good. Nowadays you have to buy heirloom or import good ones to know what tomato flavour is, if you're in America.
A more fun fact: my wife will not want ketchup if there's a slice of tomato on the burger. The two taste nothing alike, but it doesn't matter to her. Isn't that something?
if you're in America.
The problem isn't limited to America. I'm in Italy, where good tomatoes shouldn't be hard to find, and yet in the last years I've started paying much more attention when I buy them.
Well yeah, I've noticed a decrease in quality here too, unless I buy expensive or local grown.
The problem isn’t limited to America.
It is if you're in America.
Shhhhh we only have fake sugar here and definitely not some of the nicest grocery stores and farmers markets filled to the brim year long with good produce. Don't let the yeruos in on the secret.
Yeah but what are you comparing them with?
You know, I thought my tastes had just changed because I used to love tomatoes, and now I usually take a pass outside of making sauces.
I slice my tomato much thinner than in fast food pictures, and I salt the the slices on a paper towel and let them sit while the burger cooks. When I'm ready I wipe off the water on top of the tomato, so I end up with a seasoned, somewhat drier tomato slice that I enjoy.
Why would you take a tomato off of your burger? There’s a special place in hell for people who do that. I think it’s below the layer of lettuce in Dante’s Inferno.
People that dont like raw tomatoes?
The texture is weird to me. I don’t always take the tomato off, but I will take it off if it’s not cut correctly. Too thick and you get chewy/crunchy bits, too thin and your burger becomes slightly. It has to be perfect or I don’t want it.
The flavor, however is great. I love tomato flavor. It’s not my favorite, but it’s great.
The trees watching me build something with precut lumber
I love fresh tomatoes, I hate them on hot food, specially sandwiches for me they don't belong, hate me if want, that's my 2 cents
I enjoy a good slice of tomato on my burger. But it has to be right. I don't like warm/floppy and I don't like cold/crunchy. Has to be in-between, it's hard to explain.
Ripe, at or near room temperature, thick enough to hold form and texture, thin enough to yield to bite, so as to provide substance and flavour while not being pulled prematurely from the sandwich in toto.

Cool, add some more sugar to your diet, why not
Take a picture. How much do you weigh?
The same as before the picture, I suppose.
21 grams lighter actually since being photographed sucks up your soul
Or 21 g more since I'm apparently the one taking the picture...
Who knew photography was so complicated?
I took a picture but it doesn't tell me my weight.
Do you have sugar and vinegar, tomato?
No, you don't, lazy fuck
why have you not been Spiked, tomato? go back to the kitchen and get properly seasoned.
