slice up tomatoes and avocado, fan them out nicely around a plate, add (spanish) anchovy fillets, drizzle with (good spanish) olive oil.

I like many things that are made with tomatoes, but oddly enough i can't stand the taste of one.

Make some caprese. Get some buffalo mozarella and basil, throw some olive oil, salt, and peper on it, and enjoy.

Same... all kinds of things I like with tomatoes in them.
Raw however I would throw up if I ate more than the smallest amount.
To be fair though they are part of the nightshade family so ones body rejecting them in a raw state is to be expected.

Interesting, didn't know that.

Yep, I can't do raw tomatoes, unless they're sufficiently buried in something else. Even the heirloom varietals, which are supposed to taste better.

Cut them in half length wise and roast them in the oven at 400 for like 30-45 minutes, until they've shrunk about half but haven't dried up. Transfer to a pot, add a diced onion, some olive oil and fresh chopped tarragon. Sweat the onions, then puree with a stick blender and add a shot of vodka. Season w/ salt and pepper, simmer for maybe 10-15 mins, then add a little bit of heavy cream or half and half, stir, and pull off the heat. Serve over pasta.

That's what I'm about to do with some overripe roma tomatoes I have here.
