I saw someone commenting how they specifically don't like "raw tomatoes". I was wondering why you'd be eating raw tomatoes to begin with but they just meant like regular tomatoes, ones you haven't cooked since for them the cooked ones were the norm. And it had so many people agreeing with them about how "raw tomatoes" are disgusting.
It's a weird world out there.
I also don't like raw tomatoes, but cooked ones are okay.
I'd interpret 'regular tomatoes' as something non-heirloom.
I'd call "raw" tomatoes, as in regular eatable ones as just regular tomatoes. Raw to me sounds like unripe. While prepared, I guess that is self-explanatory. But I guess that's more about cultural or language differences.
What do you not like about "raw" (I guess it is now warranted since there's ambiguity, so fair enough) tomatoes? I think they're the tits! First time I hear the term "heirloom tomatoes" btw.
