What's the deal with tomatoes. They're just messy fruit full of water.

I was under the impression they were a common food for humans. Was I mistaken?

[bolderfell]

Humans here aren't all from the same place.

[hagrides]

Do you live off of different foods as well? I see.

[bolderfell]

You live off of whatever you can find around you. Isn't that how it works for anyone?

[hagrides]

That is not precisely what I meant.

I eat fire. I was given to understand humans do not find that nourishing, but if they eat different foods, then perhaps?

[bolderfell]

[...]

Yeah, humans eat a lot of different things. Not fire, usually, but not just tomatoes. Whatever they can get their hands on.

[hagrides]

In that case, is there any special 'deal' with tomatoes? Merely being unfamiliar to you does not make them more mysterious than carrots or oranges.

Oh my god, finally!

Tomatoes are a feast for the eyes, not a feast for the taste buds. They're pretty to look at, but that's all they are.

Use them properly. Put them in sauces and don't devour them whole like an animal.

[bolderfell]

You can get just as good an eyeful from an apple and it tastes better. I don't get it.

[bolderfell]

They keep turning up in things. Just trying to understand the appeal.

[After a minute, he gets a photo attachment in reply. The subject of said photo probably used to be a tomato--beautifully cut, even. It has since suffered horribly, cooked into wrinkled, soggy nonsense with butter and red wine in a cast-iron pot, suitable only to scrape into the trash can.]

Wasn't impressed.

[hagrides]

Perhaps the juiciness is a draw? Similar to other fruit.

They taste good with hamburgers
Sliced
Or in sauces

[This fucking goblin!!!!

It's not that hard!! It's not a complicated ingredient!!! Caesar didn't even have strong feelings about tomatoes until this nightmare thief came into his life.

Because who else could it be but ole Therion. There can't be another anon user with a tomato grudge in this city and if there is, he's going to eject himself from the planet. ]

[casaposa]

Because you don't know what you're doing. You're flying blind with no skill and it shows.

I'll show you how to cook it.

[bolderfell]

[O no.

This! This right here, this is why he uses the "network" anonymously! Damn, he's glad he figured that much out. Anyway, he's safe. Definitely safe. The safest. Phew.]

Can't say I know what a 'hamburger' is. And people keep going on about sauces without explaining what kind.

[bolderfell]

Maybe. Doesn't taste like much.

[hagrides]

Perhaps you could try cooking it?

[bolderfell]

I don't need someone to come cook me a tomato.

[saezuru]

[ Yes indeed, you live to die another day, Therion............. Doumeki's too stupid to connect the dots. ]

It is a sandwich with meat and vegetables
I forget what it is called but the sauce on pizza is tomato-based

[ Doumeki eats mostly Japanese food, he should not be trusted ]

[bolderfell]

I did. Tasted a little better that way, I guess, but still didn't seem worth a meal.

They are a very versatile type of produce
People use it for all kinds of meals and drinks as well
They are a great ingredient

Did you never try a tomato before?

[bolderfell]

Oh, sandwiches. I've had those. Those are common, too, huh.

[bolderfell]

The plant they grow on looks like something poisonous where I'm from.
