Fruits of the Devil

[cyrano]

And for those of you who have tried to tell me that tomatoes are not in fact Satan's Apples, a fruit bursting with juicy evil, I say In your face, tomato eating Evil! Because honestly, McDonalds? Who knows more about evil than McDonalds? And if tomatoes are too evil for them then that's saying something.

No more tomato based sauce on pasta for you, then. Which also means giving up most commercially purchased pizza.

See, that's the thing! Cooking boils all the evil out of them!

Alas, if only the same tactic worked on cilantro, the Demon Weed.

Oh, hear, hear!

Poisonberries! *mutter*

Aww, why'd you have to go and hate on cilantro? I was with you right up until then.

I'm not hatin', I'm just statin'.
It tastes like a mouth full of nasty, and anybody who digs on a mouth full of nasty, I say more power to 'em.

Any food that is touched by a demon tomato is also rendered useless via the tomato squishin's left behind. Also cutting boards used to slice tomatos must be immediately sterilized or thrown out completely. You can't mess around with tomato squishin's.

Good sir, you speak the truth.

(Or, possibly, good madam. I don't know. In any case, it's still gospel)

You are a heathen, and know not the Glory of the Tomato! The great unwashed lump all tomatoes together for they are slow of thought and clumsy of taste. Only the Enlightened understand the true nature of this radiant fruit. For not all tomatoes are equal in creation. Tomatoes grown on commercial farms, picked green, and artificially ripened in ships and trucks and warehouses are Inferior and must be shunned at every opportunity for they are bland of taste and grainy of texture. To justly Enlightened will be revealed the Glorious Tomato, grown in the sun blessed backyard and picked minutes before consumption. The Glorious Tomato has a smooth texture and a piquant taste found nowhere else in the Heavens. When lightly salted it sustains the Enlightend for all the Summer months. When properly preserved, it lifts the heavy burden of the Enlightened during the long winters.

But why should a waste my breath on a heathen? Your sort will never learn, and that is your loss. (And my gain.)

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

I love them and I love what MISS FRIDAY has to say. She hit the mark.

Now really, the instrument of the devil is WAL MART-and I have not seen them sell fresh tomatoes there. Yet.

This has been a tough year from tommy toes. I have had terrible luck at the healthy food store as well as the farmer's market (Or I should say WE, meaning my adorable tomato shopping husband and I)
