Normally, I'd ignore a thread like this 'cuz due to a childhood
allergy, I don't much care for raw tomatoes. But last night, I
had a change of heart!

I'd picked up one of Safeway's made-to-order subs for Husband's
dinner:

Turkey, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pepperoncinis
on rustic Italian bread. I suspected we'd wind up splitting it (love
that chewy bread), so I'd planned to pick off the tomato, but I thought
"what the heck, I'll try it". (It was a basic red tomato, btw.) It was
wonderful! I still wouldn't eat one by itself, but as part of a
sandwich, it was quite good.

I guess I've seen the light...
