why do store bought tomatoes taste so fucking nasty? I like tomatoes that you get from restaurants, on sandwiches etc. but whenever I buy my own and slice them up they’re just gross. what’s the secret

You're probably just overripening them or buying a different kind of tomato entirely. Try a bunch of different types/ripenesses. I tend to prefer mine when they just start to get orange, so everything is still firm. Romas are good for this too.

Tasteless supermarket tomatoes are picked damn near green, miles away from you, and the variety of tomato is selected for durability and resistance to damage during long travel in a train or truck. Quality and taste are last on the importance list.

Grow your own heirloom tomatoes, or buy local tomatoes from a farmer near you, the difference in quality should shock you.

I had to read this book called Tomatoland for some gay mandatory class freshman year in college. Basically, almost all tomatoes are grown in and around Florida and picked by spics who shoot out babies gruesomely deformed by the chemicals. They pick them green and mealy and spray them red. They pump them full of chemicals. That’s why.
