To be fair, I can’t remember the last time I had an actually decent ripe tomato put on a sandwich anywhere. I love tomatoes, but not the mealy flavorless water discs you get from most sandwich shops.

Fresh is different from cooked.
Not a difficult concept.

There’s something about a slice of raw tomato that I just don’t like.
I’ll eat pico de gallo with chips but god forbid you put a tomato on my sandwich

I don’t like raw tomatoes. Love them in pretty much every other form.

I’m that person if it’s a plain hot house tomato or cherry tomato.
However, I’ll eat chow down on some heirlooms, Roma’s, or San Marzanos.
All tomatoes are not equal.

I’m definitely a person that doesn’t care for raw tomato but likes plenty of stuff made from it. I don’t even mind it raw as an ingredient in like a dip, diced with other stuff etc. Just not a big bite of raw tomato, beats me, just don’t enjoy it. I will pull off a slice and not make a fuss though.

Never before has a meme attacked me on such a level. I’ve been explaining this to people my whole life.
Its the raw tomato quality that I find absolutely repulsive. The smell, the seeds, the goo. All of it. Heirloom tomatoes are the worst offender. Every little cavern of goo and the strong smell just makes me gag. Every time I had a tomato caprese on a menu I’d dread it.
Peel it. Cook it. Smash it up. Make it a sauce. I’ll eat it. Concasse and in a gazpacho, maybe. Raw tomato of any kind though, no, absolutely not.
Its an instant vomit reaction. Like I taste raw tomato, I puke.

Hah, that’s me in reverse. I can demolish punnets of raw tomatoes, but as soon as they’re in a sauce, nope, unless it’s really chunky pico.

I like raw tomatoes just fine, by themselves with salt and pepper, or in a salad, I just generally opt out of getting tomato in a sandwich because of what I really hate, soggy bread

I just don’t trust raw tomatoes I haven’t selected myself. And a lot of times you can tell they’ve been in the fridge.

Biting into a tomato is like biting into an internal organ. Cooked is great, but raw is naw.

as a kid I was that person, found out the reason later. Mom didnt believe in sharpening knives so would cut them thick……. can i tell you how unpleasant a thick cut tomato that is slimy on both sides because the blunt piece of metal used to cut it did less cutting and more blunt force trauma all the way through is?
its not very good, i wouldn’t recommend.

I love me some raw tomatoes, I’d pop cherry tomatoes all day long (phrasing lol) but a warm tom slice in a burger is nasty

Tomatos contain about 1000 mgs of glutamate per 100grams, about the same as soy sauce and avocados.
