I seem to remember trying it once and yes, it was just as you describe. How a layer of that it is supposed to enhance the flavour of anything goodness knows...

Re: Tomatoes.

Strange I don't like ketchup or tomato soup but can eat a bag of tomatoes.

Re: Tomatoes.

I have a Greenhouse with a load of Tomato Plants in it. I always buy "Gardeners Delight" the wee Cherry ones, lovely straight off the vine.

I grow "Shirley" as a main crop and a cherry tomato for grazing on. This year it is "Sweet Aperatif", the seeds for which were free with something else but they're not doing too well at the moment. I grew "Sweet Millions" last year which were terrific.

Barry, l am exactly the same! I don’t like ketchup either.
I can’t wait for the tomatoes l have grown to ripen. The prices of tomatoes in the shops are awful. I always buy them loose, not in packs.

Re: Tomatoes.

I love home grown tomatoes. when I go to the farmer's market, I buy the ones that are most deformed. Someone told me they are the sweetest and the perfectly round tomatoes are usually hothouse.

Re: Tomatoes.

I used to eat them regularly. Loved to smell them growing and after touching the plants, the smell left on my fingers.

But now they don't seem very keen on me, but I can infrequently get away with eating them.

I remember reading a long time ago that tomatoes can be good for depression. Don't know if that's true or not.

Re: Tomatoes.

I always buy Jubilee tomatoes whenever I can, they appear to have more taste than others.

I also hate tomato soup and tomato ketchup...

Homemade tomato soup is lovely - don't like ketchup at all.
