If you're not sure about this, start small. Try a spinach salad tossed with nuts like walnuts or pecans and sliced strawberries and a sweet balsamic with a little grated romano. Seriously, give it a go, it's healthy and tastes amazing.
Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet. But we then add heaps of sugar to tomato sauce to make it sweet. Fruit like strawberry is already sweetened, it makes perfect sense on paper.
What's throwing everyone is that our first experiences with sweet fruit flavors is always candy or pastries and we have a hard time shaking that association as strictly appropriate.
Shitty supermarket tomatoes aren't sweet. Homegrown tomatoes can be very sweet and very delicious.
Some of us live in places where tomatoes don't grow very well. I could grow them where I live but yields are terrible without a greenhouse, which I don't have. At least I should be getting an allotment soon to grow stuff in though, but won't be going with tomatoes.
Tomato Europe vs Potato Europe.
Sure, but potatoes are worthless in comparison. On a £/kg basis its one of the cheapest possible foods to buy so it isn't really worth growing them myself when I can get them for almost nothing.
