I'm talking about a fresh tomato from your garden. This is not
something I would do with grocery store tomatoes.

Fresh tomatoes are so meaty that they do hold together very nicely.
And eating a slice with no peel is really lovely.

But I'm sure the whole procedure would be quite too much trouble for
you. Not only would you have to deal with the mess of actually
preparing the tomatoes, you would also have the peels to deal with.
Since you aren't allowed to throw those in the trash, whatever in the
world would you do with them?

Plus your daughter would probably turn up her nose at them.
