Then you won't like this stupid American song:

Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
Than bacon & lettuce & homegrown tomatoes
Up in the mornin' out in the garden

Get you a ripe one don't get a hard one
Plant `em in the spring eat `em in the summer
All winter with out `em's a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'
Everytime I go out & pick me a big one

Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love & homegrown tomatoes

You can go out to eat & that's for sure
But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
Put `em in a salad, put `em in a stew
You can make your very own tomato juice
Eat `em with egss, eat `em with gravy
Eat `em with beans, pinto or navy
Put `em on the site put `em in the middle
Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle

If I's to change this life I lead
I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed
`Cause I know what this country needs
Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes

she so is....

My elder daughter loves tomatoes, but younger one hate them - and anything with tomato in , like baked beans.
However - she has tried and almost liked one - a tiny 'cherry' yellow one that I grew!.

Muffy, whatever you do, don't bother with the big beefsteak tomatoes - they're tasteless, unless fried!

No silly, tomatoes don't suddenly go from green to red do they? They go through this orange stage on the way.

Sheesh!

And she aint YOUR BC...

so her hair is now green you sayingmy BC looks like Orvil the bloody duck ** faints **

Well the tomatoes weren't ripe at the time Hayley *tsk*

I dont like fresh toms but can eat tinned ones.. BC your hair is orange love..lol

I love tomatoes!! Why I even dyed my hair to match em! lol BC XX

I love tomatoes.... raw,baked,chopped, in sauces etc.. Even like to eat them like apples as a snack.

Dip them in sugar - it's supposed to be a tonic (this must be true because my Dad told me!. lol).

Yummy. xx

How can anyone not like tomatoes? :-)))

I eat tons, in one way or another, raw, cooked, in soups, sauces, salads etc. - lovely, couldn't manage without them!

*skins* *wounds*

You lot are no blinky use.

You're making me gag lolololol xx

I don't eat the skins ... it is that I think that makes people dislike them because the skin tends to stick in the throat ? get rid of the skins and the pips and there is nothing nicer...with salt of course... :)

Awwww Bob you said *wounded* tomato

Now I feel even more sick LOL xx

I like tomatoes, but only the sweet ones, like cherry tomatoes or vine ripened ones. Those hard forced ones you get loose in the supermarkets are sour and tasteless.

Nothing like fresh home-grown ones though.

Like tinned tomatoes too...especially for cooking. To me, it's better results.

my ex hated them to lol
and baby satan dont like them lol

see just coz i hate things i still buy them for me kids to try lol but smile when told there yuk! lmao x

I like tinned tomatoes - but not raw, that is just wrong and I would not eat one............ done a sprout and thats my limit
lol

x

I didn't realise so many people didn't like tomatoes! Love them fresh from the garden or greenhouse.

shurup george!! we know whats in them but just dont think about it lmaooo


i like spouts but could eat them raw "pukes"

Muffy....you think tomates are bad.....you should see how they make kebabs and what goes into them, then you would puke.......lol

how to eat a tomato.
take one fair sized tomato in left hand and salt cellar in right hand, take a bite , from tomato and sprinkle wounded tomato with salt, now take second bite from tomato and now chew and swallow, repeat items one and two until tomato is consumed............delicious!!!!.

Bob

how on earth can you stop at ONE sprout.............??LOL
they too are delicious!!!

especially raw, with that bit of frost on them it gives an extra bite......yummy
