    I’m so tired of explaining why I do not want to eat that disgusting squishy, drippy blushing slut of a vegetable. And no, I do not care that its a berry, fruit or an arthropod or whatever.

    Picky eaters are oppressed minority. There I said it.

      Modern commercial tomatoes suck and your pickiness is entirely justified and reasonable. There is no point to putting a shitty tomato on a burger if the texture is off putting to you.

      Mmm yes. A slice of a cold wet slimy produce on my hot fatty burger. Oooh yes please. I absolutely love the contrast of cold and hot; fat and slime.

      If there’s anything that makes dining great, it’s opposites. And if there’s anyone with the skills to make opposites a gastronomical experience, it’s a line cook flipping burgers.

      after i gave up removing tomatoes from my burgers, (i never liked tomatoes in general, but i got lazy one time) i discovered it actually tastes pretty good… and then i took another bite out of the burger and the entire tomato just slipped out so i had to eat the entire thing, and yeah i dont like it

          thankfully the place i’ve been getting burgers cuts the lettuce into smaller pieces, so it’s not a problem

      Yeah I’ll eat any type of tomato but raw ones. Dried? Love it. Sauce? Delightful. Put in a pan for 10 mins and topped with feta cheese? Taste great. But raw? Fucking disgusting. Put it in a burger? Ruins the whole thing especially if the tomato water gets into the bread. Stop ruining perfectly good food by adding raw tomatoes.

      I like tomatoes, but I am a picky eater about a lot of other things! Picky eaters unite.

      Tomatoes are actually a fruit, not a vegetable.
