Preacher, it would probably take one glass of good tomato or onion wine to
convince me. I resisted making grapefruit wine for many years as I do not
like grapefruit. Then a friend make some and it was excellent.

By the way, I know that in the north, tomatoes are a fruit, but in the
southern US, they are a vegetable. Ask anyone down here. ;o) By the way,
the only thing I like better than good fried onions is boiled buttered
onions. Talk about sweet!
