I'm just waiting for Fantasy to pop up and protest đ
I love how our legacies are connected â€ïž
âšStarcrossed lovers, Tomato wars edition âš
I'm gonna quit PB over this
But then the Tomato lovers win
You know what, you're so right! DOWN WITH TOMATOES!!!
No comment
I adore you, from my head tomatoes
I accept your perfections and your one flaw (eating raw plain tomatoes)
How else do you eat them if not in their best form??
With anything (a salad, on a sandwich, cooked) not raw like a heathen
That you didnât even mention with just ranch is why weâre gonna have to go to marriage counseling
I just want an excuse to be seen out in public with you đđ
You mean a nice juicy tomato straight from the garden with a little salt and pepper mmmm perfect
đ€ą puking as I type
Love this! Sweetness and Power is one of my favorite books!! Also recommend The Core of an Onion by Kurlansky (he's just a fantastic writer), Garlic, an edible biography by Robin Cherry, Cooked by Michael Pollan, Cheese and Culture by Paul Kindstedt, The Book of Gin by Richard Barnett, and Extra Virginity: the Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil by Tom Mueller.
I have lots more food books as well if you ever need more.
omg!! yes I will take all recs for this (and will be adding your suggestions too đ«¶đŒ)!! the tomato book has been haunting me so I kinda meant this as a joke but then it became serious đ
Bless you for feeding us đââïžđ
funny enough, i'm typically not a pun gal, but it just feels right đââïž
Okay but I need to read that apple book rn
yes!!! i love this fruit history concept
Lmaoooo
Just rubbed my hands in glee opening up this comment section, and it did not disappoint đââïžđđœ We love PB tomato lore đ
The PB inside jokes/lore go crazy đ (and I should know đââïž)
đ«¶đŒ the best part, the tomato book is part of my IRL lore too, this is all I am
god, i hope to one day be able to say a sentence that's even half as cool as this đ©đđœ
i love the tomatoes and i love this concept haha bill nye would definitely approve !
đââïž i'm only trying to be like him
I'm only trying to be like him. There we go, I fixed it đââïž /j
(I have to keep the joke going for the lore lol đ)
joke? đ€š it is but the truth
Right, right. đââïž We know that, but Bill Nye has fooled most people by adding a "not" to their name. We have to keep up pretenses that notbillnye is "not" Bill Nye or we risk undermining the integrity of username logic.
omg this list just summarizes my husband's taste in books
Obviously he has great taste then đđ»ââïž lolol if you or he has any suggestions, Iâd love to hear âem!
This is fantastic! Have you heard of Eating to Extinction by Dan Saladino?
I hadnât!! Immediately added it to the list and holy shit Iâm gonna rearrange my monthly plan because I need to read this ASAP 𫹠thank you for this suggestion!!
Absolutely! I'm so excited to devour this whole list.
bon appĂ©tit đ©đ»âđł
I was wanting to make a similar list bc I love when history has a super specific focus. Thanks for making!
Oh yay!! I think itâs a very cool part of history! Glad you like it âșïž
"Consider the Eel" Okay. I will consider the eel. Silly lil wiggly guys. Tasty when grilled with the right sauce. (Sorry, hehe. Felt like being silly)
This is actually a really neat list!! Cool theme, too.
I laughed when I added it because I was like, "okay tomatoes, orange, apple, bread... eel? wtf? eh, what the hell, I'll add". (they are quite delicious)
I did not make the list to bug Fantasy; that was just a bonus. đ
Hehehe, I love when things do two things :3
Looolll yall have good ideas love it
