We all understand that tomato is actually a fruit. We all understand that by the definition of a fruit a tomato is a fruit. In the context of cooking people use tomatoes as vegetables. This isn't hard to understand.

Elizabethan Error posted:and? none of what you said addresses how 'fruit' is defined. tomatoes, squash and bananas all have seeds. The point is that you're mixing definitions. Botanically, yes, a tomato is a fruit, and so is a squash. Culinarily, both are vegetables.

yeah, i mean, i explicitly said "botanically speaking" twice now, so you're really doing nothing but being a tremendous grognard for grognardism's sake. this is a food thread, most of us probably don't give half a poo poo about botanical classifications. if you wanna open up a place where all your dishes are based on botanical distinctions go ahead but like 90% of your clientele is gonna ask your servers what the gently caress tomatoes are doing in their fruit salad.

Every year I put up a couple of cherry tomato plants, and every year as soon as it ripens I make all these plans to make sauce or do something with it. Instead I just stand there like a fat retard and eat every god damned ripe fruit with a big fat smile on my face, then get sad when they're gone.

The way this usually goes is there isn't enough tomatoes for sauce. So I should eat them now. Then more tomatoes ripen, but not enough for sauce... And so on.

Fo3 posted:Ideas, tips, recipe or links appreciated. I don't think anything else I've got to play with could be prepped by tomorrow and I've got to stretch this meal plan/ budget out anyway. I looked at a few recipes and took bits from each as to method. Some use fresh tomatoes; I just had canned and they worked very well. Finely dice an onion. Heat oil and fry about 1tsp cumin seeds until they pop. Turn heat to medium-low and fry onions until soft and translucent Add 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp ground coriander, and if using chili powder instead of fresh chilies, that. Stir. Mince about 6 cloves of garlic and a decent lump of ginger (by hand, in mini food processor, or mortar and pestle), and add to pan shortly after adding spices. Cook for a couple of minutes, without burning garlic and ginger (maybe turn heat down) Add tinned chopped tomatoes and can of drained rinsed chickpeas, and if needed a bit of water to thin it. Cook for around 20 minutes until it has thickened again. Add salt, pepper, 1 tsp (or more to taste) of garam masala, a tiny bit of sugar if desired, and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Cook for a minute or two then serve. Garnish with fresh coriander if that filthy muck is your bag. Some recipes add garam masala with other spices at the beginning, others at the end. I served it with brown rice and dino's carrot stir-fry adapted to cabbage (because we had cabbage). It's an amazing recipe that also works well with kale. Not just fantastically delicious but an excellent effort: reward ratio. Scientastic posted:Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

Why not try to think of a different expression to "fat retard"?

Thanks. I've seen what you mentioned with early or late additions before, especially with ginger. It just depends if you want it to be at the forefront or as a background note. I have pretty low quality old garam masala so I would use it early. I sometimes like fresh ginger or some spices or sauces added near the end. I ended up doing a sweet potato and cauli curry last night. Roasted the cauli with curry power, roasted the sweet potato with garum masala. (toasted coriander and feungreek seeds while the oven was on and then ground). Fried some mustard and cumin seeds then onion, garlic, ginger and capsicum. Added the coriander, fenugreek and some chillli. Then fried some tamarind concentrate until "dissolved", then coconut milk and chickpeas. Reduced and added the roasted cauli and sweet potato. I'm pretty sure that's a mongrel of a recipe that isn't out there in the real world. Sometimes I use canned tomato and add lemon or fish sauce to that recipe (omitting the coconut milk and tamarind) Also I usually use butternut squash/pumpkin, but my kid hates that so I switched to sweet potato this time. But what you did is something I can do if I have no veg so it's helpful. I could even add frozen spinach to it or something. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Sep 21, 2017 |

The Cape gooseberry is probably the most widely available Physalis commercially - it looks like a quarter-scale tomatillo (including protective husk), is yellow when ripe, and is fairly acidic but sweet, similar to pineapple or strawberry. Other varieties are typically smaller but with similar flavor. In the Midwest we made jam out of them and it was the most delicious thing.

I filled the tub about halfway through and poured an entire jar of gravy granules into it. The friends staying with us were meant to go into their bathroom at some point, at which I'd have said "oh! Someone must have run you a nice hot gravy bath!" (Inspired by Victorian mustard baths), but they never bloody did. PS I have photographs.
