    Because then I’d lose the wonderful texture of a good tomato, sauces are just not the same.

      Are you kidding me? The texture is the worst part. The taste of raw tomatoes is the second worst. They only start to get good after you cook the living hell out of them.

        Have you only had grocery store tomatoes? If so, then I forgive you. But a good garden tomato is a taste of heaven.

          Mom always had a sizeable garden in the backyard growing up. I haven’t had time for a garden the past couple years, but I usually have Romas and a few other varieties in mine. I’ve always hated fresh tomatoes.
