  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

I find cherry tomatoes too sweet straight up

I usually roast them with a little salt and pepper and it gives them a nicer depth of flavor

Tomato soup is the same, I gotta roast those bad boys for a bit before I soupify them

Only time I prefer raw tomato is on a nice tomato sandwich and it's got to be an immaculate tomato for that

Cherry tomatoes make my mouth itch, i think the nightshade skin to flesh ratio is off -- that's okay I'll keep eating that garbage

I thought it was a reaction everyone has to nightshades to a larger or smaller degree? Like I can eat cherry tomatoes but my mouth itches, same with eggplant. But larger tomatoes and potatoes I'm fine. So it's probably an allergy but a tolerable one, in that case...

Hmm. I don't get an itchy mouth with tomatoes of any kind, but maybe it is common idk

Hahaha I have the same thing with fruits and went through the same- “wait doesn’t everyone’s lower lip kinda swell up after eating apples, cherries, etc?”. Our bodies just crave danger so much, they have to manufacture their own
