Yeah they're wet and acidic and taste wack, I ain't putting that shit in my sammich! (Soz if you do like tomatos lol)
I find it interesting that you call them acidic. I've never had a tomato which tasted acidic to me, except maybe if they aren't ripe yet.
In fact, it's quite common to add vinegar to tomatoes (ketchup, tomato salad, various dishes with balsamic vinegar). So, yeah, maybe your sense of taste picks up on some molecule that others can't taste...
I've never really like... eaten acid tbh. I had the druggo kind you put into small paper squares, I wouldn't recommend that either tbh!
Ah, I thought, you were being fanciful with your wording, because acid simply tastes sour. Lemons, apples, vinegar, they all taste sour, because they contain acid.
I just looked it up, by the way, and tomatoes apparently do contain acid, too. I guess, it's just not usually the prevalent taste to me...
