      Tomatoes I’ve grown in the garden have almost always been superior in taste to whatever I could buy in the store

        I grew up in the inner city, but my dad made space to grow tomatoes. I ask for no tomatoes at most restaurants, people assume I don’t like them. They are wrong, I fucking love them.

      I cannot stand this sentiment so much. Anything you don’t like, someone will tell you you haven’t had “a good one”, or “well you haven’t had it the way I make it.” Nobody loves everything.

        Tomatoes are the only thing I will ever use the argument for. Tomatoes that you get from the vast vast majority of restaurants are absolute dogshit. There is a huge difference from mass produced tomatoes vs a well grown one.

        So it’s not as simple as me just not seeing other people’s perspective, and of course I acknowledge I used hyperbolic phrasing here, but tomatoes are absolutely the one thing that it’s very likely that people do not like since most tomatoes that you will eat are significantly lower quality.
