Love those vine ripe, garden fresh tomatoes!

Ya man I dig 'maters. My granddad spent his retired life growing tomatoes, selling quite a few to the local grocers.

For me though you gotta switch the mayo to mustard (not a fan of mayo) otherwise a big +1.

Love tomatoes!

Mayo rulz over mustard.


Actually I like them both, but mayo+tomato is the bizness.
And celery salt, mmm...

 

Creole tomatoes, yeah.

Me likes!

However I'm stuck with supermarket tomatoes until mine come in. My plants are growing above my 4 ft fence, but no red ones just yet. Shortly I'll have more than I can eat and will have to get creative with them.

 

Marmite & tomato sandwich = heaven.

 

Guess I'm going to have to google what Marmite is. Is that strictly a UK thing?

I'm impatiently watching some beauties grow in my backyard. Not that I'm biased but here in Ontario we grow some damn fine maters!!!

 

I have no place to grow them, but I do love'em. I have to get to the farmer's market and get some good ones.

 

isn't Marmite the same thing as Vegemite?

 

Yes, it's a UK thing. But you can buy it in the US if you search for it. Similar to Vegemite (yeast extract) but not quite the same.

Very savoury, a love it or hate it thing (the ad campaign over here exploited that fact). It exists over here to use up what the brewers had left over when they'd finished using the yeast to make beer. It's none the worse for that, though. I've loved it since I was about three.

 

I'll get some pics if we go buy tomatoes from that one farmer im thinking about, there was so many strange kinds it was incredible!

 

Well at least you tried it. I grew up in Texas and mustard is king there. Mayo is more the norm I know and it's definately more old school southern. I live in Georgia now with all of my Pop's family around. They're definately old school southern folks. Barbecue is Pork. Being a Texas boy barbecue is Beef for me. I'm definately the oddball when my family fixes mater samaches.

By the way I've got a friend who swears by homemade biscuits with light mayo and tomato as well. I've never tried it but he is DEFINATELY old school southern and FAT so he probably knows his business when it comes to food.

I am so havin a tomatoe sandwich when I get home....

 

Funny story behind the tea too. In Texas they don't sweeten tea. In a restaurant you'll get unsweet tea and sweeten it at the table (which never works, iced tea doesn't sweeten). You'll end up with a half an inch of undissolved sugar in the bottom of your glass and semi sweet tea My mom still lives in Texas. She came to visit and her favorite place to eat is Red Lobster. We went out to Red Lobster and she ordered "Tea". And you know as well as I do in the South when you order "Tea" you get "Sweet Tea" if you want it unsweet you order Unsweet tea. Well needless to say she's yapping away all the while loading this glass of tea down with Sweet N Low, all before tasting it. She took a sip and I know the stuff had to be like syrup, man you should've seen her face.
She tells the waiter she'd put too much Sweet N Low in Could he bring another glass. He told her (in a teasing manner) "I ain't got time for dumb folks". I still laugh at that one
