Do Japanese people really eat whole tomatoes by themselves like an apple?

Doesn't matter where you're from, you either have shit tomatoes or shit taste

>you have to be italian to eat tomatoes by themselves
stop eating gmo shit

Eat your veggies, user.

I suppose this thread is an indication that I need to eat a nice fresh tomato some time.

I do love fried green tomatoes, those are great.

try it, they are tasty (if messy)

Some people do probably in every place you can get tomatoes. I normally just use them as side dish, when I run out of other things to eat I would eat a tomato in the middle of the night but that's it.
But judging from the replies above some people are proud of eating tomatoes? That's sad.

>doesn't know the joys of eating something you planted

Sometimes I feel for my fellow humans.

But tomates are a fruit,user

I do and have advocated for doing so for a very long time, but it's hard to get anyone onboard when all they've ever had are shitty tomatoes.
I was just too lazy to cut one up one time and figured I'd just bite into it and salt it, though there really is no need to salt a good one.

Never had a garden before? Once you get a good harvest on some bell peppers or tomatoes, it feels real nice knowing that you aren't relying on a grocery store for food.

I've had gardens before, I have eaten things I planted, potatoes, corn, oranges, and some spices (and a few other things) a lot of times. Again I'm just saying it's kinda sad for me that you guys seem proud of this, that's all, I'm not saying it's bad or wrong.

I've always loved to eat tomatoes as a snack, they are great on their own when they are in season.

I love whole tomatoes. I could eat San Marzanos all day, and most other cultivars taste great too (As long as they're fresh).

I'm an american that loves tomatoes and I fully admit to our tomatoes being complete shit. That's just something we'll have to take the L on. How american tastes ended up selecting towards non-sweet blandness as the most popular to grow I'll never understand.

Bigger is better and bigger has less taste. Also a lot of people here can't taste properly do to all the sugar they eat normally.

Americans love cherry tomatoes

Because tomatoes cant preserves for shell life so they are picked super fucking early since corporations care exclusively about profit and absolutely disregard quality you get these ultra bland tomato and became red on the shelf and not on the plant. This is generally a thing everywhere but more so america. If you ever try local fresh homegrown tomatoes you'd cream your panties too. The difference is staggering.

Real tomatoes are american retard. Delicious, and juicy like you couldn't even imagine.

That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Move out of a retarded state, and experience fresh produce.

Yes and they also peel their apples before they eat them.

Americans eat so much but they still don't know what real food is.

Fun Fact: produce at grocery stores are selected based primarily on logistical reasons like self life and durability during shipping. a lot of people mistakenly attribute the better taste of garden grown food to being "organic" when a lot of it is actually a difference species of the plant from what you get store bought.

Objectively false. I pity you, that you've never had Cajun food.

>Yuros mad at the US for not eating halal like them

People can travel, user.
Rent free

I don't eat whole tomatoes like that, but I do enjoy the cherry tomatoes I grow.
