Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 My bet is that you remove the seeds and then dice the flesh. Personally, that seems like too much work and waste to me, but is the only thing which comes to mind. I certainly wouldn't use tinned tomatoes.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 This is exactly how I do it. My kids don't really like the slimey seed mush in tomatoes. However, instead of wasting it, I save it in a bowl and add it to my salad the next day. :::slurp::: *lol* ~ PT ~ A poem begins with a lump in the throat. ~Robert Frost, poet (1874-1963) ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~> , " Lady Sappho " < ladysappho@a...> wrote: > My bet is that you remove the seeds and then dice the flesh.

How do you dice tomatoes so they actually look diced - nice and neat and not a mangled mush?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi! I just joined the group and haven't even posted yet .... Just thought I'd put my 2cents in. Try a plum tomato. They're firm and have small seed cavities, so they dice very neatly. Happy Monday!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi Shelly. That is good advice. I would also add that Roma tomatoes are good that way, too. [wonders if they are the same?] Yesterday I bought a few tomato plants and saw one called a Pear Tomato. It looked so cute; yellow and shaped just like a pear. Of course I bought the plant to give it a try this summer. It will be a while before I get to eat any. I was wondering if anyone here had eaten them or grown them before? If so, how do they taste?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi PT! I believe Romas are a variety of plum tomatoes (some people call them paste tomatoes). I've grown the " Roma " variety as well as some others in my garden. My favorite variety is black plum. They make great sun-dried tomatoes. I grew yellow pear tomatoes last year. They were delicious. A great salad tomato. And prolific!!! My advice ... only plant 1 plant unless you have LOTS of tomato eaters or want to sell them Mmmm ... can't wait for homegrown tomatoes!!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Same here! Can't wait... Thanks for the feedback on the pear tomatoes. Good thing I did only buy one plant. *lol* I bet the bright yellow color will look wonderful in a salad. I also bought a yellow banana pepper plant; love how they make these varieties and give them fruity names. My husband picked out a hab pepper plant, too. Can't wait to make some spicey salsa! feral (PT) The only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future. ~ Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900) ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~> , Shelly G <shellyrae00> wrote: > Mmmm ... can't wait for homegrown tomatoes!! > > Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
