Avocado is great

White Asparagus or Spargel in German. Springtime in Baden-Wurttsburg, the Germans go nuts over it. Cook it with olive oil, springle a little cheese and bits of ham. My HQ's was in Karlsruhe and I would take customers over in the springtime and feast on the food. Rattstuben in Ettlingen near Karlsruhe had the best. Wegman's has it once in a while in the spring.

Honestly never heard of this anti-tomato phenomenon before. You poor souls. There's nothing like a gigantic jersey tomato sandwich at the shore in summer. Huge meaty watermelon-like slabs of intricately bisecting passageways like this (with lightly toasted bread and a scant amount of mayo). Lettuce or bacon are completely unnecessary. Doesn't get any better.

i think most of it has to do with,the gmo grocery store stuff, that people are used to. no taste or flavor.tomatoes ripened on the vine, from the farm or home grown are the only ones worthy of being called real tomatoes.

Time to go to the unhealthy side....

Lunch today:

2 Pretzel dogs from Philly Pretzel Factory with spicy mustard.

I can feel my arteries.

There's nothing worse than getting a hoagie and finding that white, mealy, flavorless tomato on it.

I never buy those hoagies, they are nasty.

Sugar Hill Subs
Greenmans
Slacks Hoagie Shack

are my go to's for hoagies.

That's the thing Lou. A bad tomato isn't always an indication of a bad hoagie spot. Sometimes the good places just can't get tomatoes of acceptable quality.

Having a true Jersey tomato at the peak of the season will ruin most other tomatoes for anyone. Think of all the people out there who are eating garbage tomatoes and will never even have the chance to enjoy what we have access to in the summer.

A great tasting tomato, has its place. In a salad, great. On the side, great. Hell, I have eaten them just like an apple. But for me, I just can't stand a "warm" slice of tomato like on a heated sub/hoagie, hamburger, chicken sandwich, etc... It tastes gross when that happens.

Now that we have the tomatoes out of the way, let's start a war talking about avocados

Not a fan of avocados. I really don’t see all the hype personally.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I'm not sure if any of you have taken RT 73 south on your way to the AC Shore, you can get on the AC expressway where 73 ends. However in Folsom on 73 just past the Police station on the right if you're traveling south. You will see a Citgo station on the left and just past that on the right is a Farmer's outdoor stand.

They sell fruits veggies all fresh. Every time I go by there it's always packed.

As far as Tomatoes go in general, I prefer the small cherry tomatoes.

Yea, but you think a hotdog is a sandwich. That’s alot worse.

Maybe if you guys weren’t so picky you’d have seen sandwiches before and would know what they look like.

A hot dog is not a sandwich when it's wrapped in a pretzel or bagel dough.

Local shops are even better. Pizza and hoagies—always best to do mom and pop shops.

I'll give you that, although it's unfair to make a GMO association. Mass production is responsible for tastelessness regardless of what genes you alter. I just know that in my old house all I had were 2 20 by 1.5 foot strips of soil in a backyard with 2 trees in it, and all the leaves/needles from those trees must have all rotted in those strips year after year because after a while the tomatoes I got out of it were superb. In the end I was making sauce with literally just a splash of wine and nothing else, simmering the liquid slowly down until it was just the taste of tomato.

I should have dug up that dirt and brought it with me like f***ing Dracula.

Who made you think this way? They should be in jail.

 

[Qyburn]

I'll literally buy one of those $5 pre-cooked chickens at the front of supoermarkets and refrigerate them just so I can replicate that scene. I'm not proud of it. But I guess it makes me happy. King's gotta eat a quick cold meal when he's got wars to think about.

 

[Striiker]

It's a piece of meat in a bun... of course it's a sandwich.

Nobody made me think this way. All you gotta do is look at it.

It's no different from a sausage sandwich.

Yup,

Sugar Hill is a mom and pop shop.

Do you guys say tomato or tomato?
