You can get good tomatoes from a farmer's market, too. Grocery store produce is just garbage. I bought bagged spinach at a store once, it was bad in like 3 days. Bought some at a farmer's market, it lasted weeks.

Also...I thought it sounded weird, but some one mentioned putting a dash of salt on a tomato slice (like on a burger). It makes the tomato taste so much fucking better. I'm guessing the salt cuts the acidity?

Were also used to having fresh tomatoes year-round instead of only when theyre in season. The tomatoes I get from the farmers market have more in common with the ones you describe but theyre only available during early winter and late spring.

The only local farmer's market back in Jersey died a long while back, real shame. Didn't give tomatoes a chance cause I didn't know any better.

You salt tomatoes and let them sit a bit because it brings out the MSG. Even the surface texture feels different.
