Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
erika, it's the flavor, too. There are a few things in the world that can get such a strong response from me like an innocent raw tomato.
so you probably wouldn't mind most US tomatoes -- they have no smell, no flavor, and a completely different texture
IIRC, I didn't come into any close encounter with a tomato when I was in the USA, so I couldn't check that. Next time, then.
Fresh sliced tomato smells like ... well ... nothing much.
Uh, that's only true of bad out of season force-grown tomatoes. Proper ones - which require to be fresh and grown in the right climate so you get them only in season - smell of heaven. Which is a shame for nilly, of course, as she'll have to hold her nose for eternity, but them's the breaks.
"We're not even Polish," owner Mena Castriciano said.
BWAH!
Heh. But it's true -- you don't have to be Polish to enjoy Paczki!
The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm,
And we never knowed what it was called.
Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed,
I never gave it much thought ......
One day I was out there talking to my brother,
Reached down for a weed to chew on,
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry,
And then everything was gone!
Didn't know what happened,
But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap.

Maybe your city tomatoes are like that, but out here in tomato farm country tomatoes are all about the flavor.
Like Jim is saying, that's only true a couple months of the year, no?
I just notified Tom that it is Fat Tuesday, because he always wants pancakes on Fat Tuesday. I think it's a Scottish or British thing.
Or possibly just a Tom thing.
I need to try that stuff. Stupid non-ethnic suburbs.(But I do get homemade tortillas sometimes.)

I had pancakes today. OK, it was some sort of McDonalds thing - little pancakes with meat and cheese in the middle....
Maybe it is a Tom thing.

No, but you do have to have the time to get to the kick-ass bakery. I, sadly, am lacking in time. Teppy, eat a paczki for me!!
If by Fat tuesday you mean PANCAKE DAY, then it's a British thing. Mmmm, pancakes...
