And what is their opinion on impromptu barbecues?

[-] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 7 months ago

As long as you don't cook with apples like they're tomatoes.

Applesauce pizza.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Toss some nicely seasoned and shredded pork loin on that, I'd try it. Be an absolute soggy atrocity of a pizza, and I don't know how I'd feel about the cheese factor, but on a theoretical level, this isn't the worst idea.

[-] Alter_Id@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago

If you've never tried a melted slice of cheddar cheese on top of a warm slice of apple pie you really should. When my great aunt suggested it to me I was incredulous, but after I tried it I was beyond thoroughly convinced.

[-] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 months ago

Pork with apple and cheese is amazing. I usually do pork chops with apple sauce spread fairly thinly on top, and grated mature cheddar on top of that, then cook it under the grill (broil?) as usual.

You'd have to spread the apple sauce thinly on the pizza too, but, yeah, that could work :)

Hear me out!

Toast + feta + tomato + olive oil = essential

Bonus ingredient: fresh green onion

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Greekschetta?

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

You're missing chunky ground pepper and salt. Salt is amazing on tomato. Unless you're using danish fetta or another rich fetta.

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 7 months ago

Pulled fresh off the vine, little dose of salt (garlic salt if you're feeling froggy), and enjoy. The sun warmed fruit is quite luxurious when properly ripened. I'm particularly fond of Roma tomatoes in this fashion.

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Rosemary salt

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

My grandpa used to do that with onions after peeling them.

[-] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago

White onion? Lovely with a pinch of salt :)

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

As did my grandpa. With salt.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 7 points 7 months ago

Like firm beefsteak tomatoes or juicy hothouse tomatoes?

Since tomatoes are so juicy inside I don't see how one could eat them like an apple without juice going everywhere when taking a bite.

I like the little grape sized tomatoes and will eat them as they come because the juice is contained in my mouth when I bite into it. I slice and will eat common tomatoes, with a little salt and pepper for seasoning. It is the assumed messiness that keeps me from trying to eat one like an apple.

I remember seeing a collection of Twitter posts from Americans of them being weirded out with people eating "raw tomatoes". I guess to them if they're not cooked they're "raw" lol which does fit with the stereotype.

[-] livus@kbin.social 6 points 7 months ago

I thought everyone did this.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Sure. Sometimes with a little sprinkle of salt.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 5 points 7 months ago

My mum does the same. I never understood the appeal, but... hey, it's not like the kind of stuff that I eat is "normal" either.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Tomato taste good

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago
[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I never tasted it pickled, but it doesn't sound offensive. And beef tongue is delicious, specially with peas and mashed potatoes. (If it wasn't such a bother to prepare I'd gladly do it more often.)

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It's very popular in Basque cuisine. I always get it when I go to a Basque restaurant. It's even better when you order a side of garlic butter and slather it on the tongue.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Now it went from "it doesn't sound offensive" to "actually this tastes really good". Specially because your mention of Basque cuisine reminded me that I already eat something similar, except with fish (escabeche). I'm going to try it next time that I prepare beef tongue!

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Like radishes with a dash of salt please

[-] LanternEverywhere@kbin.social 4 points 7 months ago
[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

So what? Come back when you eat eggs that way.

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

You should post this in Unpopular Opinion too.

[-] Jomn@jlai.lu 3 points 7 months ago

I've not done this for a very long time, but I used to eat them like that aswell

[-] Sidyctism@feddit.de 3 points 7 months ago

I do that with kiwis after i peeled them

[-] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

I eat kiwis whole. Love the taste and texture.

Mmm, and I don't have any in the house

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Beefsteak tomatoes fresh out the garden are a treat eaten like an apple. Or a cylinder cross section sliced like 1" thick on some toast with mayo

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago
[-] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago

I like to eat a tomato like it's a seedless grape.

[-] Twinkletoes@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Y’all should try a big fresh juicy tomato 🍅 with some kimchi 🤤

[-] maxenmajs@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

That's fine and I want to recommend grape tomatoes. Each little red thing comes with a sweet and wet pop.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

you can be part of my quirky, mostly incompetent, but somehow effective rag tag group of misfits bouncing their way across the galaxy.. we'll save people and stuff, but we'll spend most of our energy scamming our way through the totally unfair gates and obstacles The Man throws up at us.. you'll be the one who keeps track of where all the best roadside produce stands are..

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It sounds messy. I just tackle apack of cherry tomatoes.
