    Raw tomatoes are such a seasonal ingredient tho. I’ve had amazing, fruity locally grown heirloom tomatoes from the market in the summer, while having bought the most bland, greenhouse grown storebought tomatoes in the winter just to try and relive the taste.

    Anyone who hasn’t had a truly good heirloom tomato in season, you really should try it.

      Notice it was on my list of things I USED to hate. Now I’ll put raw tomatoes on my burger if I’m in the mood. And big chunky stewed tomatoes are good in chili or goulash. I like them in many pasta dishes, even on a margarita pizza.

      I’m still not down with eating them straight, though. We’re planting a small raised garden this year, maybe I’ll like them fresh 😁
