Hear me out!
Toast + feta + tomato + olive oil = essential
Bonus ingredient: fresh green onion
You’re missing chunky ground pepper and salt. Salt is amazing on tomato. Unless you’re using danish fetta or another rich fetta.
My grandpa used to do that with onions after peeling them.
White onion? Lovely with a pinch of salt :)
As did my grandpa. With salt.
Like firm beefsteak tomatoes or juicy hothouse tomatoes?
Since tomatoes are so juicy inside I don’t see how one could eat them like an apple without juice going everywhere when taking a bite.
I like the little grape sized tomatoes and will eat them as they come because the juice is contained in my mouth when I bite into it. I slice and will eat common tomatoes, with a little salt and pepper for seasoning. It is the assumed messiness that keeps me from trying to eat one like an apple.
beefsteaks 🐩
the best things are messy
There is wisdom here.
I thought everyone did this.
I remember seeing a collection of Twitter posts from Americans of them being weirded out with people eating “raw tomatoes”. I guess to them if they’re not cooked they’re “raw” lol which does fit with the stereotype.
Like radishes with a dash of salt please
Sure. Sometimes with a little sprinkle of salt.
So what? Come back when you eat eggs that way.
My mum does the same. I never understood the appeal, but… hey, it’s not like the kind of stuff that I eat is “normal” either.
Tomato taste good
I like pickled tongue.
I never tasted it pickled, but it doesn’t sound offensive. And beef tongue is delicious, specially with peas and mashed potatoes. (If it wasn’t such a bother to prepare I’d gladly do it more often.)
It’s very popular in Basque cuisine. I always get it when I go to a Basque restaurant. It’s even better when you order a side of garlic butter and slather it on the tongue.
Now it went from “it doesn’t sound offensive” to “actually this tastes really good”. Specially because your mention of Basque cuisine reminded me that I already eat something similar, except with fish (escabeche). I’m going to try it next time that I prepare beef tongue!
Me too
You should post this in Unpopular Opinion too.
I do that with kiwis after i peeled them
I eat kiwis whole. Love the taste and texture.
Mmm, and I don’t have any in the house
Beefsteak tomatoes fresh out the garden are a treat eaten like an apple. Or a cylinder cross section sliced like 1" thick on some toast with mayo
I like to eat a tomato like it’s a seedless grape.
Y’all should try a big fresh juicy tomato 🍅 with some kimchi 🤤
