Last year we had deep fried cinnamon rolls and deep fried birthday cake pops at the fair, but I didn't try them because I was too full of fair donuts, the only ones I actually like. :P
oh my god I love good donuts like, even if they come out of a grocery store case, if they were made that day then sign me the fuck up fresh quality jelly donuts with granulated sugar are my forever fave
Moony made a cookie thing once that was was oreos wrapped in chocolate chip cookie dough and then baked. Apparently they lasted for like, a day, and were fucking massive.
All cookies and doughnuts are good, but homemade ones are always the best. I don't care whose home it was, homemade sweets ftw. What do you guys think of tomatoes? I hate them. I enjoy pizza with tomato sauce, I'm okay with ketchup and mustard on a burger etc, but tomatoes? In a salad or by themselves, or even cooked in other dishes (usually), I can't stand them.
I like the squish. The way I can bite just so and have liquid and seeds ooze out. The taste doesn't do much for me, and I'm grossed out if the skin is wrinkly.
People who can bite into a tomato as if it was an apple are secretly demons or fae or something. it's just not right.
So, here's a fun thing I just learned about food. "Vegetable" isn't a scientific term. It's a culinary one. It's just an edible, herbaceous plant. "Fruit" refers to a specific part of a plant. So, tomatoes? Both. Squash? Both. Cauliflower? A flower, appropriately enough. Corn? Grain. No such thing as "vegetables" in any kind of consistently defined, meaningful way. No family of plants, nothing. Just whatever people feel like categorizing with it at the time. This is as big a world-flipping as when I found out that pillbugs are crustaceans rather than, well, bugs. You just haven't met the right tomato yet.
I love tomatoes! I wouldn't want to just bite into a big hothouse-grown tomato because they usually don't have enough flavor to be worth it, but homegrown? That I would do. I'd still generally prefer to eat it another way, though.
Yeah, grocery store tomatoes often taste like gritty, slightly-acidic nothing. Homegrown cherry tomatoes are sometimes worth the effort of eating even by themselves, though. (There was this one variety that the farmer's market had one year that were brown instead of red and they were delicious.)
i love cherry tomatoes yum yum sweet and savory and just the right size big tomatoes can be good but they are hard to eat because i freak out if i make a mess eating food ever. so i eat them EXTREMELY carefully and wish that i had sliced it like an apple instead.
That is so fucking cool But ye to add to the tomato discourse, tomatoes and tomato byproducts are gross and you should feel bad
tomatoes and ketchup are foul, but i'll gladly eat spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, and cabbage rolls cooked in tomato sauce :p
