Our two plants have produced quite the bumper crop. Jon is eating tomato sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but the kids are just turning up their noses. After trying a bite and gagging, Gem asked us to make her try a lick of tomato in about 5 year--the earliest that she foresees her taste buds acclimating to the veggie. She's too turned off to even try a bite.
I actually ate a slice with salt and pepper and enjoyed it, not just tolerated it. What a great time of year--fresh tomatoes, sweet corn, watermelons, peaches, grapes, blueberries and cherries.
We have also been enjoying cucumbers, sweet corn and beets from our garden.

sorry, i agree with gem!
Yeah, Gem pretty much nailed it. I like em on sandwiches but not straight up. Still, it's pretty cool that you had such a great crop.

Tell her to keep at it. If you recall, I did exactly the same thing, trying just one bite of tomato every summer. It only took me 10-15 years!
