I'm the same way. Don't eat them on burgers orpoboys. Only sandwich I eat them on is a BLT

if you don't like a good ripe mater you're missing one of life's greatest joys.

Love ketchup and salsa, despise raw tomatoes. Will eat fried green tomatoes. I have no idea what the deal is with raw tomatoes.

Ketchup, red sauces, pretty much everything derived from tomatoes I'm a fan of. Eating an actual tomato, though? Vomit. I try like once a month. I just can't do it.



I will say.. I've convinced myself to like a lot of things.. so I could probably convince myself to like it.

I'm pretty good at forcing myself to like anything I want in order to not be a picky person. Just eat it every so often and truly try to enjoy it.

Maybe I'll start the process of liking tomatoes and see if it works.

BLT is one of my exceptions though its not a sandwich I order much. I love a caprese sandwich, though and tomato sandwich on white bread.

I had sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper and sliced green onions on top tonight with my steak. One of my favorite ways to eat them. In the privacy of my own home, I drink the leftover juices. Heaven on a plate.

I can tolerate tomatoes but I never order them on any sandwich.

Ketchup on the other hand goes on everything.

Tomatoes are the only thing that I will take off of a sandwich, burger or poboy. Just can't do it. I've tried so many times, but the tomato always ruins it for me.

Same. Something happens during cooking or drying that takes the foul taste away.

Don't do raw tomatoes. Can't stand them. Stewed, diced, catsup, sauce, love them.

Keep us posted on how that works for you

Like I've said, I continue to try them because I think my aversion to them is a little ridiculous and I hope maybe my tastes will shift, but it's always in vain. I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one.

Just not in gumbo. But that's another can of worms. . .

I used to only eat ketchup, now I'll eat diced tomatoes but not sliced.

I'm the same way. I also don't like lettuce on anything, but I will tear up a salad. Something about the bitterness that I just don't like in combination with a burger/sandwich.

For the most part, I hate tomatoes, but love everything that can be made from them. The only way I'll eat a raw tomato is a thin sliced roma, with fresh water mozz and dressed with olive oil and balsamic.
