Not sure if his name IS Herb,but he's really taking it out on that poor fruity purple tomato....
Cherry tomatoes rule. Normal ones are great if sliced and with some gourmet salt (flake salt) sprinkled on them. Especially if "accompanied" by some rucola salad and feta cheese.
I put ketchup only on food that doesn't taste good as it is, like plain french fries or pasta. It's OK, but I prefer a good sauce over ketchup any day.
I have yet to taste a good tomato soup, I normally can't stand them. I don't enjoy tomato based, cooked food that much. Pasta bolognese is also not my favourite, unless it contains a lot of sourcream (creme fraiche). Then it's actually really good. Perhaps I would enjoy a tomato soup with creme fraiche? Should try it some day...

Almost correct. The banana TREE is a herb, the banana is a berry. And the banana fly has eight chromosomes.
Hehe me too!
I also love tomatoes in brine. And well, the brine itself is nice to sip here and there...
I can't believe I'm doing this...
The Camel's Tomato Bisque
1 6 pack of Pale Ale(for drinking, no beer in this recipe)
1 can Tomato Soup
Equal amount of milk
1 tbsp basil
1 tbsp oregano

1 12 oz package shredded cheddar

Fresh cracked pepper and sea salt
Sauce pot. Pour tomato soup in. Pour milk into can of soup. Pour into sauce pot. Stir. Get it hot. Stir. Add basil, garlic, and oregano. Stir. Once it gets real hot, add cheese and get a hand blender. Blend until soup turns orange. Stir. Dice tomato. Pour into pot. Salt and pepper to taste.
You put ketchup on pasta?
Please tell me "pasta" is Finnish meatloaf.
Around the hood, they call it "yock."

I only do it if there is nothing else available. Which is NEVER the case in my house. But it's better than nothing. Pasta don't taste that much without something on. However, it's the by far most common thing you put on pasta, at least around here. Far more common than Parmesan cheese
That could actually be ok, if served with also a fresh garlic baguette. But I'd replace those sad dried herbs with a handful of fresh ones and add a little creme fraiche. Oregano is ok as dried but I think I would leave that one out from this recipe.
I liked the way the beer was used in the recipe.

I have an herb garden, I just used dried because that's what most people have...just double up on the fresh. It's actually better with just 4 tbsp's of basil(fresh) and then salt and pepper...
Try it without the creme fraiche first, you'd be surprised.
And sprinkling feta on top before you eat it is preferred...and a baguette, of course.
You are weird.
But then again I also hate tomatoes but love tomato/spaghetti sauce, ketchup etc etc
Ok, I'm gonna try this recipe. But not today. It's 11 pm here. Maybe tomorrow.
I printed the recipe already.
