    I enjoy a good slice of tomato on my burger. But it has to be right. I don’t like warm/floppy and I don’t like cold/crunchy. Has to be in-between, it’s hard to explain.

    I love fresh tomatoes, I hate them on hot food, specially sandwiches for me they don’t belong, hate me if want, that’s my 2 cents

    Why would you take a tomato off of your burger? There’s a special place in hell for people who do that. I think it’s below the layer of lettuce in Dante’s Inferno.

      The texture is weird to me. I don’t always take the tomato off, but I will take it off if it’s not cut correctly. Too thick and you get chewy/crunchy bits, too thin and your burger becomes slightly. It has to be perfect or I don’t want it.

      The flavor, however is great. I love tomato flavor. It’s not my favorite, but it’s great.

                Well you bring very negative energy, so I’d rather not engage you and sour the air in here any further.

                You can picture me anyway you want because I absolutely don’t care about you. No actually, I care enough to tell you that if you feel the need to childishly call others fat over a comment on ketchup, maybe you need to figure out what makes you so angry.

      I slice my tomato much thinner than in fast food pictures, and I salt the the slices on a paper towel and let them sit while the burger cooks. When I’m ready I wipe off the water on top of the tomato, so I end up with a seasoned, somewhat drier tomato slice that I enjoy.

      Tomatoes used to taste good. Nowadays you have to buy heirloom or import good ones to know what tomato flavour is, if you’re in America.

      A more fun fact: my wife will not want ketchup if there’s a slice of tomato on the burger. The two taste nothing alike, but it doesn’t matter to her. Isn’t that something?

        if you’re in America.

        The problem isn’t limited to America. I’m in Italy, where good tomatoes shouldn’t be hard to find, and yet in the last years I’ve started paying much more attention when I buy them.

          Shhhhh we only have fake sugar here and definitely not some of the nicest grocery stores and farmers markets filled to the brim year long with good produce. Don’t let the yeruos in on the secret.
