oh yeah, you know those dried up bits around the cap? how about an entire slice of that?
that sounds terrifyingly accurate and i’m not sure if i should shiver or throw up now
Reported for posting to /c/food with what is clearly not food.
Genuinely a nation of toddlers…
Also they’ve found a way for ketchup to cost about 10 times more and do 100 times more damage to the environment with its packaging and logistical inefficiencies.
Once everyone’s hooked on these solid slices of sauce they’ll start shrinking them too.
I FUCKING hate capitalism.
The person in the photos is an Israeli woman named Tohar Ben Shitrit. She has a channel on instagram, tiktok, and youtube. She has tons of videos showcasing fake foods.
Some comments in this thread ask why someone would have a slice of ketchup rather than a slice of cheese. Cheeseburgers are not kosher because Torah says “do not cook a kid in its mother’s milk”, which is interpreted as “do not combine meat and cheese”.
The fake product seems like some kind of Israeli joke, like a play on “slice of cheese”.
I hate tomatoes but the idea of a slice of ketchup also sounds disgusting
I remember as a toddler adults pulling a “you like ketchup, so why dont you like tomatoes?” On kids who didnt like tomatoes. Like… okay, drink some vinegar then, throw some sodium bicarbonate on your pasta.
Sugar. You like it because it’s loaded with sugar. I don’t like tomatoes, fine with ketchup and salsa. But not pico, because the tomatoes in pico are still too tomato.
Ive always liked tomatoes, im speaking for the other, more frail children
Cooked tomatoes taste distinctively different from raw ones. Ketchup, salsa and pasta sauce all have different degrees of cookedness.
Not really, puréed tomato is still just straight up tomato and I don’t mind that. I just hate the texture and taste of raw tomatoes.
Same. I can’t do raw fresh tomatoes but I am fine with salsa, marinara, etc.
I was the same as you until I had some really flavorful, not gooey or watery at all tomato sliced. If you can get heirloom tomatoes near you I recommend them fully. They’re more expensive, but you need fewer of them
I used to hate tomatoes
Then I learned that they could be good with a little salt and pepper
Now i’ve made panzanella salad and it’s like, where have you been all my life?
my theory is that kids that dont like veggies is because their parents didnt season their vegetables.
Very much the case in my house. The only “salad” that was eaten in my home growing up was this unholy mix of sliced raw onion, cubed tomatoes, SO MUCH WHITE VINEGAR and some salt. I wouldn’t go near it.
Turns out I like salads when they have a bit of oil or dressing or other things.
That or they just boil them
The idea that putting anything on a vegetable or cooking it in a fashion that changes its appearance somehow robs the food of its healthy qualities has done irreparable harm to healthy eating habits
Pretty true in my case, veggies were either the frozen mixed veggie blend (disgusting, especially the carrots), boiled, or just prepared in a way that made them unappetizing. No shade to my parents, it’s tough to cook for a family, but when we all learned to prepare veggies properly I found out I actually like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc
I do still hate cooked carrots & I stand by that, I’ve tried plenty of methods & I haven’t found one I like. But I’m fine with that
Booboo my mom insisted on only ever steaming veggies. No wonder kids hate broccoli. Fucking pan sear that shit and season it!
Honestly steamed broccoli is the shit, I liked it even when I was young.
I still hate tomatoes and you’ll never convince me otherwise
They have some ketchup slices for you
Tomatoes are made to be robust and to ripen extremely slowly while reddening quickly. You get a fruit that’s really firm and tasteless because it’s pulled off the vine too soon, but it ships well so stores don’t give a fuck. This is why canned tomatoes have a stronger flavor and are recommended more often for sauces etc, because they’re cultivars bred for flavor, not structure, harvested at maximum ripeness, and locked there by canning. If you don’t fuck with tomatoes because they’re mid as hell, a can of San Marzanos on a pizza could change your mind.
the texture and wetness of a tomato slice are pretty of-putting but apparently most people don’t give a shit about texture
I very much give a shit about texture and have strong opinions about which textures I absolutely will not eat.
A tomato slice on a sandwich rules! That’s a great texture!
People can have different preferences to you and it doesn’t mean they’re thoughtless.
it’s not just tomatoes that makes me think that. it’s usually only autistic people and food dorks who give a second thought to texture
They’re used in sandwiches for their wetness/texture
Until you have a fresh San Marzano or some kind of heirloom chopped up with a bit of salad, olive oil and parsley on toasted bread, and suddenly your life is transformed forever.
Something in the aroma just reads like rot to me and no amount of cooking helps. A healthy tomato plant still in the ground smells like yard waste and so does your grandma’s marinara that she simmers for eight hours. But then I don’t like ketchup either. Some vinegar is fine but even a little ketchup drowns out everything else.
tomato plants smell fucking weird for sure but it comes from the vine, not the fruit. something’s gone very wrong if that smell is getting into your pasta sauce
Then there’s been something very wrong with every tomato I’ve ever encountered.
Sorry, I don’t mean for this to sound like a clapback or an insult or something, but could it be something to do with your nose? Are there any other common foods that smell really bad to you but fine to everyone else?
I recently made this discovery myself. Turns out, if you add flavor to them, they’re not bad.
Also, heirloom tomatoes have a wonderful flavor!
I don’t think it’s adding flavor, unless you’re overdoing it. Some foods taste more like themselves when you add a bit of salt, and some spices really work well with the natural flavor of a dish already. That’s the beauty and fun of cooking.
I’ve always been okay on tomatoes. Found out I fucking love a tomato if it’s a good tomato. Home garden is best but it is one of the veggies that is worth paying for the better version. A lot of stuff it doesnt make a difference if you get the expensive organic version, onions is onions for example. Tomatoes are a strong exception. Low quality tomatoes are for salsa and lesser sandwiches. Good tomatoes are for eating raw and really good sandwiches where you buy nice bread
Yep
A nice tomato sandwich on a hot day is :chefs-kiss:
Blast a bit of flaky salt, some herbs de province and white pepper on a fine heirloom tomato. Or throw that fucker on an everything bagel with either just some garlic oil or vegan cream cheese and fresh greens…madone
Toasted bread,
and a single slice of a flavorful and meaty tomato is as close to heaven as I can get in the summer
There was a brief period in my youth where my mother would just buy a shitload of cherry tomatoes. No idea why. School lunch? Yeah there’s a bunch of cherry tomatoes. Feeling peckish? Cherry tomatoes. Breakfast? For some reason, cherry tomatoes.
Lasted 2 months then she never bought them again.
Caprese salad (if you aren’t vegan)
Now i’ve made panzanella salad and it’s like, where have you been all my life?
Are you me? My life literally changed when I had a bruschetta with an actually flavorful tomato
I went to look to see if this is a product designed for disabled people but as far as I can tell, this is fake. There is a company that sells dried slices of various sauces, called slice o’ sauce, if that is your jazz. It does not look like it’s made for the disabled, so there really is no point to its existence.
There must already be a squeeze machine for those who can’t. Like a dull set of scissors thing. Cause I could see that being a pain. I’ve always worked kitchens and had noticed really early on that it’s basically impossible to do with just about any disability. Which is gatekeeping an industry of brutal work for next to no pay, but at the same time that makes it an entire industry that will not hire based on physical disabilities, and in addition made me really aware of how fucking hard cooking would be for anyone with limited use of just about any body part, even at home. Also I found out how much some of these gadgets that are made originally for people with disabilities can really reduce the physical strain of doing an industrial amount of something. The slap chop is a secret godsend for professional kitchens that I have gotten to introduce. It’s cheaper and more precise and easier to clean than a food processor and while less precise, its less strenuous than a knife. So if you wanna dice a fuckload of onions for a mornay sauce as an example, you can cut that time in half with a slap chop. I wish they made bigger ones so I could fit a fuckload of veg in their. For easy rough chopping and dining where presentation wont matter, it is great! Fantastic product that should be in every restaurant
that looks like something the protagonist comes across in a Cronenberg movie to foreshadow how everybody gets absorbed into the big oozing flesh mass later on but it’s ok because everybody’s happy as part of the big oozing flesh mass

Why? Ketchup is a sauce, I want it in a bottle I can spread on other foods. Why essentially just make it a cheese?
Thats not a cheese thats a slice of Ketchup. An abomination before God and everything that is good.
Fruit Roll Ups like
Because westerners are gross
How would this even work on french fries?
you roll up the fries in the slice of ketchup. it’s called a New Hampshire Burrito.
I live near New Hampshire and I can say with 100% honesty that this is true
you cut these into stips, deep fry them and dip them in potato sauce of course
everyone is 12
who the fuck buys that smh
this is obviously fake
I live in a country with frozen oreo pizzas and mustardayonnaise so my ability to detect normal human food is a little warped ok
frozen oreo pizzas
hey dessert pizza is pretty good

I fell for it, because it sur as shit looks like a real products americans would consume.
Unfortunately, I think it was real. It’s from a shark-tank thing, but I think they closed down.
the image has hellman’s branding and a quick google search shows they have never sold anything like this
But what if I, an alleged tomato disliker, dislike them for the taste and not because it comes in sauce form? What then? Must I just take the rational position of not eating tomatoes like some sort of freak or find a yet more baffling way to somehow consume something I don’t like?
I will fully respect you not liking and not eating tomatoes so long as you don’t eat whatever the fuck this thing is
Ultralight backpackers have gone too far
