It comes from the American deep south, much closer to where tomatoes actually come from. Adding oil or extra ingredients takes away from the moist, cooling nature of a tomato on a hot summer day.

All tomatoes are good tomatoes. A fancy tomato to me is pretty much anything you can't regularly get in any old grocery store. Go into any fancy supermarket or natural grocery store and get any tomato that looks more interesting than your average tomato. I'll get excited about it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pikmeir@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Try some kumamoto tomatoes and I think you'll really like them.
