I will clarify, blended or pureed into a sauce, like ketchup for example, is fine but throwing raw bits of ketchup into anything truly ruins the dish.

This.

The tomatoes in the grocery store are picked when they're still unripe so that they survive shipping from the fields to stores thousands of miles away. If you pick a tomato at the peak of ripeness, it's tender and flavorful in a way that is completely unlike most store-bought tomatoes.

>> No.19834662

Tomatoes are delicious in every single format. When I was a kid, I used to chop up tomatoes and put salt and lemon juice on them. They were my dessert of choice. Cherry and grape tomatoes are delicious as is. They enhance any sandwich, burger, salad, etc. Sun-dried tomatoes take flavor to a whole new level. It's like concentrated perfection.

There are two main reasons why tomatoes can be tasteless:
>mainline supermarket tomatoes were bred from genetic defect tomatoes with fucked up ripening for long lifespan at the cost of taste (look it up, this is a late 20th century problem as 'normal' tomatoes would go off in 3-5 days tops)
>you're a retard and you store them in the fridge

The first issue mostly only affects the largest cheapest tomato breeds since modern technology allows for them to ship smaller tomatoes with taste while still unripe and let them ripen during transit. Or you can pay more for larger tomatoes from different breeds that are gonna cost due to wastage. Or grow your own. Also notice how it doesn't cause problems with tinned tomatoes since they don't need to care about the taste:shelf-life ratio since they're cooked and will last years.

It damages the fruit somehow, I forget the reasoning but it makes sense for a tropical new world fruit to dislike the cold. But feel free to try it yourself by dividing a batch into fridge and countertop and see which tastes better over time (best done with home-grown or higher end tomatoes that won't have been shipped refridgerated).

Common advice around here. I pretty much immediately identify someone as a cooklet if I see their tomatoes in the fridge.

You've been buying the wrong tomatoes AND you haven't been seasoning them. If the inside of any fruit is more white than color, it's gonna taste like shit. For tomatoes, my trick is to give it a soft, but firm squeeze before bagging it at the grocery store. If it yields, I know it's truly ripe and has the potential to taste good. If it's still firm and doesn't squish easily, I know it's gonna be some gay ass preripened bullshit.
If that's all you can get, then I suggest that you let the tomatoes you want to use ripen outside the fridge for a day or two before you use them.
Failing this, you can always grow your own in a garden. They're easy to take care of and hard to fuck up.
And don't ever buy roma. That shit cannot even be considered an excuse for San Marzano tomatoes, so don't even try.
