Tomatoes are god's perfect food, and I'll die on that hill. They add both sugar and acid, what else ya want?

Note: This only applies to good tomatoes. Don't know about elsewhere, but in America we GMOed ours to be nice and round, evenly colored, no blemishes. Improving those traits removed the acid and sugar. That's why many only know of tomatoes as pink mush.

In Spain you can still easily find many different varieties, like bull's testicles tomatoes:

No idea why it's called like that but it's really tasty.

In german these are called „Ochsenherztomaten“ (Oxheart tomatoes) or „Fleischtomaten“ (Beef tomatoes).

And yes they are very tasty!

It is called "volovo srce" (oxheart) in Serbia.

Italian is my least-removed European ancestry. Aside from the flavor being complete ass to me, tomatoes are also dog shit for my heartburn.

You got the tomatoes with acid in them! :)

My best friend had the same issue. He got some sort of shot that resolved it temporarily. I think he can eat them with impunity now?
