You assume this is about taste.
In my case, when the texture of tomatoes touches the inside of my mouth I get the urge to vomit. When I was forced to eat them as a child, I literally ended up puking. The taste of Cherokee purple tomatoes will not change that.
A similar thing happens with egg plants, water mellons, and similar ‘squishy’ textures.
The taste of tomato paste, or ketchup? Love it.
Your SO and I are not the same.
I have never had a desire to explore the numerous cultivars or varieties of tomatoes to determine if one was not going to make me vomit. Blind testing seems like a masochistic exercise now that I think of it.
With your description though, I might try a Budyonovki tomato (I assume Budenovka /
Будёновка
) if I am ever presented with one.Thank you for the tip.
