I like to imagine you just have uncut and cooked cherry tomatoes between two pieces of toast

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why, is there a better way? They roll everywhere...

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uncut cherry tomatoes in a tortilla wrap. It's actually what I'm eating right now (well, not just tomatoes; it's also got chicken and chopped-up celery.)

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes. I too love being surprised by food exploding in my mouth

[–] Absolutemehperson@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just the food?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

yeah like sausages

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

And put some kind of sauce, like mayo, and you've made a tomato slip and slide.

[–] healer_56@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

If you put butter on the bread and then directly the tomatoes on it they stick to it and will not Slip out. Don't put them between ham and cheese!

[–] onparole@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least you have tomatoes you'd like to eat. Living in Scandinavia makes good, larger tomatoes a raaare sighting

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

This is such a weird idea to me. Tomatoes are everywhere where I live and they also grow very well here.

Now what good food is always in your grocery store that I have a hard time buying in the US?

[–] Danc4498@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

More like the avocado.

[–] SkySyrup@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every time I hear the phrase “You’ll never take me alive” my rotting brain appends “ahhhhhhhhhhh” to the end of it lol

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i like to make PBJs w a ridiculous amount of PB and preserves so when im done there’s a pile of it that i scoop into my mouth w my hands like a baby

[–] ImmortanStalin@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I normally just skip the bread altogether

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

but if you get some nice whole wheat bread and toast that shit it really brings a PBJ to the next level

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Why don't you guys use sauces made using tomatoes? I've always hated tomatoes in my sandwich. Forget them falling out... Biting into them is disgusting as well!

[–] Quarky@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Tomatoes are the best, blasphemy to have sauce instead of tomato slices. 🍅

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Hit them with the salt.. flavourbombs.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I would like the time to share my 3d printed cube tomato mold. Get the perfect slice for your sandwich.

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because biting into them is delicious.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Euggh rlly? R u like a goat or something?

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

I wish. Just chilling on a vertical stone wall, munchin' tomatoes, that sounds like a good day to me.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because then I'd lose the wonderful texture of a good tomato, sauces are just not the same.

[–] pc_admin@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah they're wet and acidic and taste wack, I ain't putting that shit in my sammich! (Soz if you do like tomatos lol)

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I find it interesting that you call them acidic. I've never had a tomato which tasted acidic to me, except maybe if they aren't ripe yet.

In fact, it's quite common to add vinegar to tomatoes (ketchup, tomato salad, various dishes with balsamic vinegar). So, yeah, maybe your sense of taste picks up on some molecule that others can't taste...

[–] pc_admin@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've never really like... eaten acid tbh. I had the druggo kind you put into small paper squares, I wouldn't recommend that either tbh!

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, I thought, you were being fanciful with your wording, because acid simply tastes sour. Lemons, apples, vinegar, they all taste sour, because they contain acid.

I just looked it up, by the way, and tomatoes apparently do contain acid, too. I guess, it's just not usually the prevalent taste to me...

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I try, but then people make fun of me for putting ketchup on a turkey sandwich.

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

My cousin always used to eat his thanksgiving turkey with ketchup, despite my mom making the best goddamn gravy in the known universe and slightly beyond.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Ketchup tastes good with literally anything.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's not that weird. People eat chicken nuggets with ketchup and hotdogs too

[–] BigBootyBoy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ketchup and tomatoes are like completely different tastes though

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Well yeah, give me a tomato any day. I just meant I've seen way weirder/worse.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Don't get me started on the whole fucking hotdog debacle...I just don't like mustard that much...
