Default I ate tomato slices on a sandwich

Since I was a kid I've never liked tomatoes. Not sure why. So into
adulthood I just avoid tomatoes on sandwiches. I like pasta with tomato
sauce so it isn't the flavor.

Last weekend we had a cookout and one of my contributions was condiments
and fixins' for burgers and there were tomatoes left over and I had to
take them home. So I made my first real BLT with tomato slices included
and I liked it.

Wait for the local tomatoes this summer. Then make a sandwich of just
tomato, a little slat, and mayo on Italian bread. Fantastic. Only
lasts a few months.

Louise loves those. We had a fabulous tomato yield last year and she
had them almost daily. I love tomatoes but I like a little meat on a
sandwich. Even if it's just fried bologna.

What is slat? I've been thinking about trying some slices with salt and
pepper. But I don't want to ruin a new found taste just yet if I don't
like it.

I think tastes change over time. My husband was just like you for
decades: didn't have anything against tomato in condiments and sauces,
but didn't like raw, sliced tomatoes and avoided them in sandwiches.
Suddenly, he's eating them and tells me he actually likes them in a
sandwich now. That one snuck up and surprised me!

Yep. About 15 yrs ago, we got a doz homegrown tomatoes from an
in-law. Best I've eaten in 50 yrs. So good, we ate them whole, like
an apple, cuz didn't wanna adulterate such awesome flavor. Did try a
couple in a tomato, mayo, bread sandwich. Un-bee-lievable!

In the summer when the tomatoes are coming in, I cut a large
one into slabs and stuff it into a pita with mayo, maybe with
some pepper.

Heaven. Best no one is around to see me eat it. Heh.

Salt. Hang in there, tomato season is coming and if you can
keep that feeling, you're in for a treat.

You poor girl. When I was a kid my parents always had a small vegetable
garden and tomatoes were abundant in the summer. There are few things
tastier than tomatoes fresh from the garden. We had BLTs, toasted
tomato sandwiches. tomato and lettuce with mayo. We loved them. In my
world. a hamburger is not a hamburger without a slice of tomato.

I saw a recipe for tomato salad recently using olive oil, small leaf
basil and capers. That sounds good for a sandwich too.

Oh, that sounds good too. I have several tomato plants and I'll
be looking for recipes since none of them show signs of biting
the dust.

Oh, I live for those homegrown tomatoes. I grow them and
cucumbers. I also love cubed tomatoes and cukes with store
bought zesty italian dressing. (laugh) When I have that, I
know it's summer.

This year I didn't plant any grape tomatoes. Wonder if I
should pick up a cherry tomato plant just so I really am
overburdened with tomatoes.

I miss them so much. I always grew all those things but for the last few
years, hubby has been working on contracts and I usually go with him so
there is no one home to care for those plants

I didn't like fresh tomatoes for years. Always loved ''em cooked
though, tjhe more the better. Pasta sauces, YUM! Somehting about the
texture I guess. I didn't like them until a coupe of years ago when
over at my drinkin' buddies house he had some sliced up and awaiting
BLTs I think, and I was really hungry and tried one, and YUM!!!

I'm growing 6 tomato plants this year, and some already have flowers
on them! :-)

Oh, too bad. Not that your husband is working and you get to
go along, of course.

I just finished watching a week of Craig Ferguson in Scotland.
Really lovely. And the people were so nice. Didn't see any
tomatoes, though.

Wait until summer, probably August but maybe earlier since it is so
warm this year and get tomatoes at farmers markets. Make sure the
markets insist on local produce. Around here it is usually the county
and the adjacent ones. But any more most of the counties actually
have their own.

Check for your local county extension office and see if the sponsor
any markets.

I do pita, hummus, tzatziki and tomato. On a good day everything is
either home made or home grown.

I always include at least one or two types of cherry tomato. They come
in earlier and even I almost always get a decent yield. With the
regular tomato plants, every year it is a gardener's battle against
whichever pest is most active, be it insect, mold or critters.

Some years those battles are won quite well, other years, the yield is
down or worse, wrecked at the end of a growing season, but with
cherries, there are always some fresh and delightful fruits almost
every day once they get going.

If you haven't already, put in at least one "heirloom" (the misshapen,
ugly ones) tomato plant because their fruit is so darned tasty.

But we North Americans helpfully send you the Gulf Stream to keep you

get a kick out of seeing where people are relative to other
places.

You're right, especially as I only grew one type of tomato, Mortgage
Lifters. I hope that at least two plants do well, but if we have
a summer like last year, it was too hot, I didn't get a lot of tomates.

Except the grape tomatoes (Napa). They didn't give up, it was
funny to see hundreds of them all over the kitchen. Not complaining.

You're right, I'm going to pick up a cherry tomato plant.

I disliked tomatoes also but knew why. Mom only had two ideas for
tomatoes. Sliced, served flat on a plate mounded with sugar (gack!)
Stewed, and mixed with milk and crackers in a bowl (yuck!)

I was over 40 before I ate tomatoe again. It was served on a tenderloin
that had many toppings and would have been too messy to remove. I
decided it wasnt too bad. I still dont buy tomatoes, but now I enjoy it
when served in a sub/burger/etc.

Oh dear, tomatoes were the ONLy veg I'd eat as a kid. I hate to even
see one not eaten in a resto salad. Seems like such a waste. Try a
slice on a tuna salad sang.....adds nice moisture esp if your roll is
dry.

I'm really sorry you've not known the wonderful combo of a BLT. My
heart aches for ya......

In North America terms, we're at the same latitude as Ketchikan in
Alaska.

That's pretty north even for a lot of residents of Canada.

I've read reports that suggest global warming could well divert the Gulf
Stream, leaving my part of Scotland colder than Moscow!

I know where you live, too! And you very kindly sent me a package some
years back, so you know where I live - right on the northern edge of
Scotland.
