Black tomatoes

[David1967]

Definitely.. raw, fried, roasted or bbqed, black is the best

But if its black and roasted, how do you know if you burnt it? And how could you have fried 'green' tomatoes?

I guess mosquitoes here developed a taste for aboriginals over the last 16,000 years, eh.

I have a native friend (Chickasaw). He calls people with very small amounts of native blood, "Mosquito Indians". Meaning if a mosquito bit them ,they would no longer be native American.

How the heck did this ridiculous thread turn into a serious discussion about tomatoes?

I like em black but not burnt.

Green toms make great chutney

Because it can.

chutney

What is chutney?

 

[David1967]

Because it can.

Ok fine. Just don't lose sight of the "alien seed pod" origins.

Beware. The black ones are alien seed pods.

That's why I like them.

My least favorite are the white moldy ones

What is chutney?

An Indian sauce made with fruit or veg (mango chutney is to die for)

Welcome Pope. What took you so long my "white moldy" friend?

 

[ChristineM]

I'll eat anything once, often more than once.

Recipe? Sounds good.

That isn't a racial slur btw,
In an age where "cracker" and "mayonnaise", are racial slurs against white people,
White moldy tomatoes could be interpreted as the same!

Hint. Don't eat the white bits.

Or maybe patent patent it as a medicen

I kinda don't know how to respond to that.

What would you treat with white moldy bits? Should I have asked?

Tomatoes don't have a race. Except the black ones are not tomatoes. Alien seed pods.

Welcome Pope. What took you so long my "white moldy" friend?

I'm still only 31.

I still feel like an old man,

But the mold doesn't start growing on my white sack of cherry tomatoes as long as I wash it with body wash and warm water

Im olive complected btw. I try to get enough sunshine to avoid being white!

But my furrowed sack of tomatoes doesnt get much sunshine!

So I was having a conversation with @Sunstone the other day about the tomatoes in my garden. My favorite are the small cherry tomatoes. They are great to snack on. @Sunstone recommended I try some of the black tomatoes. I said, "tomatoes are supposed to be red in my book, besides the tomatoes you are recommending look like some kind of alien seed pods from a movie like "Invasion of the body snatchers". I mean ,I don't want to eat them and then turn into someone I am not. But my friend Sunstone didn't give up and eventually I took his advice, reluctantly believing him that they were not in fact Alien seed pods. I ate some ,and he was right. They are delicious. I don't really feel different, but have noticed some minor changes in my daily routine and political views. For one thing and for no apparent reason, I went and stuck "Yes we can" stickers all over my car bumper. And put out yard signs that read "Hillary 2020". Also I never thought I would ever entertain the thought that clothing optional beaches were something to be considered. And why am I making gift baskets full of these tomatoes and leaving them on peoples doorsteps? Hmmm, doesn't seem to make sense really. Just somehow feels right. Did Sunstone have some nefarious reason behind recommending this odd fruit to me? Nah, couldn't be. Gotta go now, my new favorite program is on MSNBC.

Sorry, I couldn't resist after seeing Wirey make a thread about his sack of salty nuts.
