Question:

[sexyscholar]

Am I the only person in the world that likes tomatoes?

Not tomato derivitives -- I mean just cut a tomato in slices and eat it?

i do, but only if it's fresh tomato from a garden or farmer.
not the shipped-halfway-across-the-world-and-skanky store-bought kind.

One of my co-workers grew these in her garden. There's one that's the size of a small pumpkin.

Seriously.

They're so much better than the fakey-pretty ones you find wrapped in cellophane at the supermarket.

Maybe that's why tomatoes don't taste the same to me as they used to. They're like...inbred now.

[stormy-brow.livejournal.com]

I know plenty of people that like raw, fresh tomatoes. I, unfortunately, am not one of those people. Such a bad little WOP that I am.

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

Yes, shame on you!

My head swims with too many derogative terms...this is not good.

[stormy-brow.livejournal.com]

Too many derogative terms for Italian-Americans? I only know 3: WOP, Dago, and Guinea. Know any more?

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

In my opinion, 3 is too many.

I keep remembering a part from "Do The Right Thing," where different races of the neighborhood are spewing names about another race.

Mookie (who is Black) spews about Italians:

"You Dago, Guinea, garlic breath, pizza-slinging, spaghetti-bending, Vic Damone, Perry Como, Luciano Pavarotti, Sole Mio, nonsinging motherfucker!"

Sorry.

I always think it's fucking HIlarious that Blacks and Italians throw insults at each other, considering how their behaviours seems so similar (recounting my days back on the East Coast, at least).

I lurve me some tommytoes. I eat them plain like apples or slice them and eat them. Sometimes I salt them but not often. I like them in sammiches and salads and everything.

I find that NO MAN likes tomatoes. What is the deal?

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

I don't get that either.

I think they're defective.

[buscemi.livejournal.com]

I do on occasion, since I was brainwashed to do so early in life. ;)

[misterfader.livejournal.com]

I like them, I pour some pepper on them, sometimes salt.

[amicablebitch.livejournal.com]

you and my mother.

[pink-aster.livejournal.com]

I used to really love tomatoes. But it seems like they don't taste as good as they used to anymore.

[rivulet.livejournal.com]

I love tomatoes. I like to eat them like apples 'cause they're slurpy. And I like to put them on toast with a little mayo. And I like them sliced with dinner. Mmm.

[greyyguy.livejournal.com]

Almost. My nephew likes them that way as well.

So you are 1 of one and a half peopel who like them :)

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

hehehe

Excellent!

Ricky's a whole person...just a wee one. :)

[greyyguy.livejournal.com]

It works out well. He steals the tomatoes out of my salads and sandwiches so everyone is happy :)

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

:)

I can imagine him doing that too.

Trying to be all stealthy about it.

[greyyguy.livejournal.com]

Actually, when it comes to meals he is not stealthy at all. He will eye your plate and then climb across the table and grab everything he can with his little hands :)

I LOVE TOMATOS!!!

Especially grape tomatos... my family and roomies have to hide them from me when they buy them 'cause I will eat a whole box in no time.

[felinias.livejournal.com]

I do even green ones, not just the red ones.
