You know what, you're so right! DOWN WITH TOMATOES!!!

I adore you, from my head tomatoes

7

I accept your perfections and your one flaw (eating raw plain tomatoes)

5

How else do you eat them if not in their best form??

5

With anything (a salad, on a sandwich, cooked) not raw like a heathen

5

That you didn’t even mention with just ranch is why we’re gonna have to go to marriage counseling

4

I just want an excuse to be seen out in public with you 👉👈

5

You mean a nice juicy tomato straight from the garden with a little salt and pepper mmmm perfect

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 đŸ«¶đŸŒ)!! the tomato book has been haunting me so I kinda meant this as a joke but then it became serious 😅

3

Bless you for feeding us đŸ™‚â€â†•ïžđŸ…

5

funny enough, i'm typically not a pun gal, but it just feels right đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž

2

Okay but I need to read that apple book rn

4

yes!!! i love this fruit history concept

3

Lmaoooo

I gotta tease her, wherever I go

4

Please?

3

Fair enough đŸ€·đŸŒâ€â™€ïž

2

Just rubbed my hands in glee opening up this comment section, and it did not disappoint đŸ™‚â€â†•ïžđŸ‘ŒđŸœ We love PB tomato lore 😂

4

The PB inside jokes/lore go crazy 😂 (and I should know đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž)

3

đŸ«¶đŸŒ the best part, the tomato book is part of my IRL lore too, this is all I am

2

god, i hope to one day be able to say a sentence that's even half as cool as this đŸ˜©đŸ‘ŒđŸœ

2

i love the tomatoes and i love this concept haha bill nye would definitely approve !

3

đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž i'm only trying to be like him

3

I'm only trying to be like him. There we go, I fixed it đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž /j (I have to keep the joke going for the lore lol 😂)

4

joke? đŸ€š it is but the truth

4

Right, right. đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž 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.

4

This is fantastic! Have you heard of Eating to Extinction by Dan Saladino?

3

I hadn’t!! Immediately added it to the list and holy shit I’m gonna rearrange my monthly plan because I need to read this ASAP đŸ«ą thank you for this suggestion!!

2

Absolutely! I'm so excited to devour this whole list.

2

bon appĂ©tit đŸ‘©đŸ»â€đŸł

2

I was wanting to make a similar list bc I love when history has a super specific focus. Thanks for making!

3

Oh yay!! I think it’s a very cool part of history! Glad you like it â˜ș

1

You’re amazing 🍅

2

I am only as good as the people around me 💌

2

"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.

2

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. 😊

2

Hehehe, I love when things do two things :3
