All My Least Favorite Foods Keep Ending Up Being Dangerous!
June 11, 2008 8:30 am Random News
I have to admit something: I really really don’t like tomatoes. For anyone that really knows me, this comes as no surprise. Sure, I love salsa and all that, or in other words some foods that contain tomatoes, but to eat them plain? You won’t see me do it! I always take them off my hamburgers, sandwiches, etc.
So when I recently heard that there was a salmonella problem with tomatoes, I figured it was just another sign that tomatoes are of the devil. I had a similar feeling a few years ago when there was that E. Coli breakout with spinach. But, I really don’t have it in for spinach like I do for tomatoes, in fact I actually really like cooked spinach. I digress…
For those of you that like tomatoes - good for you. I on the other hand will continue to hate them, and now I even have more good reason to because I really don’t want to risk getting salmonella!

I fully agree with you, Tomatoes are so gross!

Yep, heard it about it over here too. Luckily, these things don’t last long.

That is funny. You should post a list of foods you hate and see how many of them show up being bad. Thanks for the thoughts.

I absolutely love tomatoes! Luckily for me a local grower already has some for sale. I also hated the spinach thing last year, that is another one of my favs.
It is getting scary to eat!

Dude, I totally agree with you, I have a disagreement with Tomatoes, which is weird because I’ll have tomatoe based dishes like pasta etc, oh well…
Did you ever see that episode of the Simpsons where they grew tomatoes that were blended with Tobacco and called em ‘Tomacco’?

Just stare at a tomato. It kinda makes me lose my appetite. I have to admit they don’t taste that bad with a lot of salt but.. I guess it might be that I just like salt.
Anyway, no danger of contracting any disease here from tomatoes either.
I quit eating at Wendy’s and such because of weight gain but I remember it was almost impossible for them to make one without them…

Well I like spaghetti and the sauce is made out of tomatoes. I like raw tomatos. I used to drink V-8 tomato juice when I was a kid.
Spinach is great. Especially cooked spinach.
I went to subway Sandwich store today and they did not have any tomatoes because of the e-coli scare.

You’re lucky that it’s all your least favorite ones.
Bummer for me, I really like tomatoes :).

I eat raw tomatoes but not always. Knowing that it’s harmful to eat because of salmonella present on it, I’ll stop eating.

I was of the understanding that tomatoes were a ’super food’and one of the foods that we should all eat.
I love tomatoes especially on the vine.
[Reply]
I can understand you. I like tomatoes, but I don’t like tomato juice. However I hope the danger connected to the tomatoes will fade away soon.
[Reply]
Tomatoes can be good alone with a ton of salt!! So you are saying that you don\’t really like any thing that is good for you?
[Reply]
Hopefully they’ll get the salmonella thing sorted out soon enough. I’m a fan of tomatoes, but I usually take them off burgers as well! Strange.

1. You ought to delete the obvious link-droppers here, especially if their sites are low-quality.
2. Tomatoes are food. Eat ‘em, or don’t. Supermarket food is a long way from the fields, and it was sprayed while it was in them. Want better quality? Get organic.

I love tomatoes and the raw ones with a pinch of salt. It is very hard for me to understand hate, may be I have to have your tongue to understand.
[Reply]
The best tomatoes for you are the cherry tomatoes and I haven’t seen a shortage of those at all.
Also real tomato sauce.
[Reply]
Anyway I like to eat tomatoes.
[Reply]
I love tomatoes! I just love tomatoes! I love tomato sauce on my spaghetti and tomatoes on my pizza! I love a wonderful tomato salad with just a little bit
