The true vilest vegetable is beets.
Beets taste like Hitler's crap.

The U.S. Supreme Court declared the tomato a vegetable in 1893.

i actually do not like tomatoes. i worked in tomato fields one summer in high school: ....the smell in the fields of still green tomatoes being harvested, smashed, and rotting, mixed with dust, and bugs...has to be the most gawd aweful smell i have ever encountered. it beats the smell of day old crap and vomit.

Let me tell you all about how fried green tomatoes saved me from starving myself to death after my awful "divorce" back in 1996.
Long story short, I was devestated, forced to move back home at age 28, and refused to eat, or leave my room except to go to work.
Then one day I smelled that smell wafting through the house.
It began a long love-affair with the delicious entree that shares its name with a wonderful Kathy Bates/Jessica Tandy film!

I would like to make it clear that I have nothing against tomatoes, per se, as long as they are put to use for non-eating purposes such as those that derive from fitting wheels to them.

Pasta sauce without tomatoes? That's just unnatural, man. Thst site makes tofu dogs and soy-meats seem sensible in comparison. The depths that zeolots will go to defend an undefendable cause... zheesh.

You're not going to believe this, but I have a medical condition that means I have to seriously limit the amount of tomatos I can eat!*
Which means, I've kind of been drafted by the anti-tomatoes team after years of nuetrality!
*I'm actually serious, but I don't feel like getting into it.

I would join an anti-grocery store tomatoes group, because they're so tasteless.
I must defend the home-grown tomato, however.
Does anyone remember the Flavr Savr Tomato? It was the first genetically modified food to be sold commercially. People said you could throw it against a wall like a tennis ball and it would not bread. It failed, indicating that, at least at that time, people still had some sense of good food.

The Tomato Haters won't stop once they've destroyed the tomato's plump and juicy reputation. No, my fellow Tomato-Heads, they'll move on to the next vegetable that doesn't meet their exacting standards. Word on the farm is that the innocent and lovable zucchini is next on their "hit" list.
If we don't take a stand now, then pretty soon when we order salad at a restaurant all they'll bring us is a bowl of dressing! And technically that's just cold soup! Grrrr.
edit - yes, it's really a fruit, but until Kool-Aid makes it a drink flavor...

Did anyone read the Kim Harrison books where the back story is that the world of the not so distant future was altered by the humble tomato. Basically in her books tomatoes suddenly started not just making people sick, but actually killing them. Soon a third of the entire population died off. Only those who had a genetic predisposition to magick survived and blossomed in health and in magickal skills. then the mortal (normal) human survivors of course banned and destroyed all tomatoes, plants and seeds and began a witch hunt (literally) and separated the cities into two zones, one normal and one for all the witches and such. Anyway, interesting that the tomato is villified yet again. Historically during the Middle Ages in Europe they were thought to be poisonious, and in Puritan America the Native peoples had a hard time convincing the pilgrims that tomatoes weren't bad for them.

They were also known as Love Apples when they were thought to be poisonous. Lovers would eat them in a suicide pact.

I'm quite against tomatoes at this time. Supposedly all the tomatoes that have been brought into town are salmonellous (yes, its my word now!). Not knowing this, I ate at Taco Time, had extra tomatoes on my salad, and was disastrously ill! Blasted tomatoes!

Or if they were eating them and thinking, "Wow! this is delicious! Now I have a reason for living..." Originally posted by antacidlass: I'm quite against tomatoes at this time.

Blasted tomatoes! If I got that sick from tomatoes, I'd be in the anti-tomato camp as well. I got food poisoning from something on a pizza once, and it was years before I could eat pizza again. Of course, you can always hope that, having survived the salmonellousness of tomatoes, this proves you have the magic gene that Saturn Girl mentioned....

The tomato is actually a fruit. For the record, the term "fruit" is actually ambiguous. It can name either a biological category or a culinary category. Tomatoes are biological fruits, but not culinary fruits.

In China tomatoes are considered culinary fruits. I have seen people eat tomatoes like apples. They also taste good when fried with scrambled eggs.

Tomatoes with a little salt are delish.
I normally hate salt, but I like a little bit on tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs and cottage cheese.
Like most vege-fruit-ables, cooking tomatoes completely ruins them. Raw or nothing, baby!

I can't hate tomatoes. without them, there would be no ketchup nor pasta bolognese nor lasagna.
As far as eating them, I like them in salsa or grilled. In the Philippines it's common to have them raw with raw onions and salted eggs.
