I've eaten whole raw tomatoes like that, but they basically have to be really good varieties from a home garden for me to go there.

I mean yeah I don't like raw tomatoes but even that aside, you don't eat raw tomatoes with a breakfast, it's grilled tomatoes, that's the food you get, they are supposed to be cooked. Also re: the entire concept of the breakfast in a box, we already solved the issue of how to do that in a supermarket friendly format and it's the breakfast wrap, you take all that crap and stuff it in a fajita.

fools, you will never possess the secret holy fire of the Kumato. quote:The patent holder, the Swiss agribusiness Syngenta,[4] has stated that it will never make 'Kumato' seeds available to the general public as the 'Kumato' tomato is grown as what is known as a "club variety," whereby Syngenta sells seeds only to licensed growers that go through a rigorous selection process, and participation is by invitation only. Syngenta maintains ownership of the cultivar throughout the entire value chain from breeding to marketing; selected growers must agree to follow specified cultivation protocols and pay fees for licenses per acre of greenhouse, costs of the seeds, and royalties based on the volume of tomatoes produced. Typically, Syngenta licenses only one large vertically integrated greenhouse winter producer per country that has well established relationships with grocery chains.

People are real weird about tomatoes. All "i love em in sauces or on burgers but if it's raw it's an eldritch abomination" or "when I was a kid I hated all tomatoes but then I turned 19 and suddenly I love them"

I assume it is because fresh tomatoes here are just kind of dire, whereas canned ones are prepared and packaged ripe.

Data Graham posted:People are real weird about tomatoes. Grocery store tomatoes are weird water balloons with a bad aftertaste. Ketchup is a disgraceful vinegar glaze. But canned romas are the perfect way to add savory to a recipe (that isn't fish sauce) and garden fresh heirlooms and cherries are good in salads.

Meanwhile, anyone with a plant pot and a little want-to can grow these tomatoes at home. Buy tomatoes, scrape seeds out onto paper towel, let them dry completely, fill pot with garden soil, plant seed, add water and sunlight. Ta-da. Just feel a little bummed by all the folks who grew up with grocery store tomatoes. My parents kept a vegetable garden every summer and we would have a platter of sliced, fresh tomatoes on the table every dinner from mid-July to late September. They were delicious. The grocery store varieties were so bad we called them "cardboard tomatoes". The varieties of cherry and grape tomatoes they're selling now are much, much better, but they're kind of fiddly for a BLT.

You assume the seeds, if there are any, will grow the same plant. Alot of these are spread through cuttings exclusively because the breed isn't actually genetically stable, and some are engineered without seeds specifically to prevent exactly what you are suggesting

Yeah it's extremely unlikely that seed derived from a highly-protected cultivar will retain its characteristics. Tomatoes are truly magnificent for about 9 weeks in high summer, and pretty bad the rest of the year. Big chain groceries and chain restaurants favor uniformity over quality in a lot of cases, so those places often have bad tomatoes even in the peak season. Tomatoes for canning/sauce-making are often processed very physically near where they were grown, so they can be made with nice, ripe tomatoes that actually taste good. That's probably part of why people have such varied relationships ships with them.

Many varieties will retain their characteristics, and you won't know which until you try it. I've never seen a tomato without seeds, that would be very weird. I mean, I'd eat it, but I'd feel a bit "disturbance in the force" about it.
