cutting a tomato, it fell on the ground, all the inside stuff fell out. sigh.....
Don't even get me started on tomatoes, tp...
I remember when I was a kid in 80s, visiting my grandparents on their farm and going with my grandma to their glasshouse to pick veggies for a dinner. Hot summer day, it was scorching inside, so humid. We went inside and picked fresh tomatoes from the bushes, picked fresh cucumbers for
mizeria. I remember like my dad loved to just grab a nice grown red tomato and just eat it straight ripped from the bush - I liked that too but on my sandwich, there were so fresh juicy, smelled oh my... those tomatoes smelled so nice, they had so many colors inside, one slice covered my whole piece of bread. Pinch of salt and it was ready. So delicious.
Todays tomatoes are total garbage! They don't smell at all! And they fall apart, literally, like you said. Even when I'm slicing one, it just falls apart, insides go blaaah... they are not juicy, they are watery, full of flavourless water just make your sandwich soggy... f**ing crap... and I pay loads for them! Prices of tomatoes here in UK went through the roof!
OK, I'm done.
Thanks tp for a quick flashback, those were the days....
