    You assume this is about taste.

    In my case, when the texture of tomatoes touches the inside of my mouth I get the urge to vomit. When I was forced to eat them as a child, I literally ended up puking. The taste of Cherokee purple tomatoes will not change that.

    A similar thing happens with egg plants, water mellows, and similar ‘squishy’ textures.

    The taste of tomato paste, or ketchup? Love it.

    Your SO and I are not the same.

      The commercial Roma tomatoes are awful in taste and texture.

      Budyonovki for example have a very different texture. Not squeaky but soft like a very ripe pear.

        I have never had a desire to explore the numerous cultivars or varieties of tomatoes to determine if one was not going to make me vomit. Blind testing seems like a masochistic exercise now that I think of it.

        With your description though, I might try a Budyonovki tomato (I assume Budenovka / Будёновка) if I am ever presented with one.

        Thank you for the tip.
