This is my complaint with tomato, also bell pepper, just kinda tasteless when raw and also unpleasant texture.

Rather have like, turnip, or carrot, or broccoli, or onion, or something else you cook because you're not a loving caveman.

Cooked tomato is good though.

Even the crappiest sundried tomato is still better than normal tomatoes so just use those wherever you'd use a raw tomato imo.

Tomatoes are kinda weird, unlike most fruit. I guess the closest is bell pepers, since you eat the colorful plant fiber in the same way, but then instead of cutting out or around the seeds, you just eat the seeds and the weird seed slime that they're suspended in along with. Makes for some inconsistent texture. Tomatoes are complicated.

Still, a tomato slice is real good for broadening the flavor of a sandwich and getting a little more crunch. There's something about newer varieties being less sweet because the red coloring is prioritized, giving the tomato less chlorophyll for creating sugar, Whatever.

Anyhow, content.

There are many adjectives I would use to describe a desirable sandwich tomato. Crunch is not one of them. :raise:

I dunno man, they're harder than the floppy parts of a sandwich, even if they're not as noisy as lettuce. They make it feel like you're biting into something more than just some bread-swaddled meat, what do you wanna call that?

lovely supermarket tomatoes can be a little crunchy but that's more like 'extremely under ripened'

My personal experience with cilantro is that it is just grossly overused. Friends accost me with "oh so it tastes like soap to you??!" Um no it tastes like you didn't calibrate whatsoever how it interacts with the rest of the dish

The best tomatoes are roma tomatoes grown in mulched horse poo poo along the side of your poverty house when you're about 14-15. You can pick them ripe and warm off the vine and bite off one end, squirt out the gross innards with a quick squeeze and then munch the rest as a snack your parents won't bitch about you eating. Eat enough roma tomatoes that way in one summer and you become immuned to slimy yuck of tomato innards and graduate to eating cherry tomatoes whole, then being able to eat tomatoes in any form without issues. Because you're poor af and they taste good and are free so you learn to eat them.

Also cilantro is amazing and I feel bad for people who hate it. I didn't like it originally whenever I'd rarely taste it because lol wtf was cilantro 20 years ago in some lovely town in the boonies? Then I found some recipe for roasted sweet potato chunks with crushed garlic, lime juice and cilantro and it was so drat good. Cilantro tastes so good--fresh and citrus-y. It's the best part of tacos and spicy, mexican type soups!
