Nothing better than a raw tomato with salt & pepper.

I'll eat one whole with a salt shaker in the other hand, or in slices or chunks.

This. Definitely this.

There's not many better snacks than a tomato and salt.

(sarcastic mf) I wonder if people who don't like tomatoes still cut the crust off their white bread. (/sarcastic mf)

Yeah, this. What kind of salsa are you eating that doesn't have raw tomatoes in it?


Salsa has alot of other textures and flavors than raw tomato. A good chunky salsa will have you tasting the peppers and onions with a backdrop of tomato.

I love salsa, but hate a raw tomato with that being the only flavor. (And yes, I have had off the vine tomatoes, we grew them in Michigan when I was a kid.)

Love them. Salt + raw tomato = goodness.

They have to be home grown though. If they are store bought grown hydroponically I wouldn't eat them or buy them.

raw roma tomatoes ftw...

cut them up into slices (so that each slice is a circle), lightly salt and pepper, and put some fresh shredded parmesan cheese on top and you're good to go. absolutely delicious.

Can't stand raw tomatoes, but I do like ketchup, salsa, tomato soup, etc. I know, it makes no sense.
