Bacon is meat candy. - Page 16

I'm no fan of the tomato, either. While my lovely wife enjoys all sorts of tomatoes, and is particularly a fan of organic heirlooms, I just can't get past the texture.

Don't get me wrong - I love ketchup, tomato sauce, and all manner of tomato products, but raw tomatoes will ruin a good dish for me. Tonight, we went to a Peruvian restaurant, and my steak was smothered in cooked onions and tomatoes. I dealt with it... but it was they were unnecessary at best.

Though years of California living have made me love some avocado and bacon on my burger...

I'm trying to get used to raw tomotoes, seeing as I love them in most of their other pizzery, ketchupy, saucefully incarnations. But yeah, the texture creeps me out. Still ... I'm having a wee bit of success in handling them on some sandwiches. The battle is, however, far from won.

And I just had to look:

There is an absolutely discusting picture there that looks like a bowl full of snot and beans stringing off chopsticks!

Oh yea. Yummy! I eat those like I eat peas. Bite a little hole in the skin and suck the insides out. With the tomatoes, it avoids the squirting in someone's eye disaster, eat the seeds and juice, then pop the delicious fleshy skins. With peas, discard the yucky plastic-like skins. Ick!

OK. You suck the insides out of peas and leave the skins ?

I think that's a fabulous party trick. I'm bringing peas with me now.
