to eat a tomato in 2010 even though they ARE the food of the devil !!!

*grins bravely*

Well let me know when this will occur Muffy.....I too think they are the food of the Devil .......I grew some in the greenhouse last Summer and was almost tempted to have a nibble at one but I couldn't bring myself to do it .....lol

Muffy i would be so proud of you
even if you just taste a little

Tomatoes are brilliant...extremely good for you..full of antioxidants.

That is true George......but unfortunatly they are also VERY tomatoeie....lol

I will try Joy and Amanda.

I was almost tempted yesterday to eat the part of the moussaka with the tomato on it.......which is odd as I usually try not to look at it.

I am wondering if my taste buds are changing......up til I had youngest I HATED christmas pudding now I love it.

I can't bear the THOUGHT of it....but wonder if I just took the plunge whether or not I would change my mind !! xx

Aren't strawberries full of anti-oxidants too? And they taste really scrummy ...

I don't much like Strawberries either LOL xx

I can eat a cooked one , if it's sort of invisible ( as in a spag bol ) but I've only ever eaten a " raw " one once , that was just after I gave birth to baby number three ( they bought me a cheese and tomato sandwich ) I was famished. Took the tomato out , ate the sandwich then realised I didn't have any where to dump the tomato.........so I ate it !! ....lol......it wasn't that bad to be honest but I haven't tried one since.

Muffy, don't think of them as tomatoes, think of them as love apples!

Yeah I can eat them tinned or cooked as long as they aren't too *splatty* Amanda.....but the thought of biting into a raw one *gags*

LOL Ann.

Great advice

When the day comes I will give it a go !!! xx

pukes,
the thought of eating a raw tomatoe!!!!

id rather eat my own sick! im sorry but that is dusgusting!!!!!

i can eat them in sauce, and in things like spag bol, or pizza base, i even like tomatoe sauce

but the thought of slicing one "bork!!!!

Try a cherry tomato Muffy...... Delicious and they're oh so tiny. One bite and gone Lol

I know exactly what put me off them . The childhood trauma of my Mum biting into one ( her face used to crunkel up with delight ).....then she would kiss me on my nose and say how lovely the Tomato was !! ......lol
I'm sure she only meant to convince me of how lovely they are but it had completly the opposite effect..........she used to do it when I'd grown up....just for fun..........lol

Nah if i'm going to do it I am going to DO IT and eat one of those whacking great beef whotsit tomatoes.......the big fellas .......the ones that SHOULD by rights be spouting horns lol xx

I think it started with me when I saw the results of a too ripe tomato on the chopping board when I was little. Looked like some sort of operation gone wrong !!!!

*heaves*

Actually that thought has made me feel right sick now.

But on the bright side.......I don't fancy the kebab anymore lol xx

i duno what put me off, but that manky bit int he middle turns my stomach

Try roasted cherry tomatoes. They are lovely.

But seriously, if you're eating a raw one, don't eat the pips or that yukky spleurgy stuff in the middle. 'cos that can be a bit unpleasant.

I used to love them when I was a kid straight off the tomato bush in the back garden still warm from the sun. They never tasted quite the same when they'd been washed or were cold. And I hated shop bought ones then.

Tomatoes are disgusting ............................

But Muffy try one I dare ya !! lol

I ate a sprout on Xmas day because my Mum and Dad ( RIP ) loved them so I sat and ate one ( only one though ) for them

But I will not eat a Tomatoe - YUK !!
