Whilst the Granny brigade advocate that tomatoes cause Gout, the rest of the world`s nutritional experts say that tomatoes are the best health food in existence.

They are apparently a miracle food in helping to prevent Prostate Cancer and provide benefit against a whole load of other ailments, plus supplying the body with vitamins for a healthy lifestyle.
Drinking tomato juice is also very beneficial and healthy.

Apparently they're more beneficial if eaten cooked rather than raw.

I'm not keen on them they upset my stomach..so I rarely eat them, but my o/h eats tomatoes every day..either in a salad or Passata spread on toast with Black pepper ..
 
Love home grown tomatoes. My favorite sandwich is butter bread, Hellman's mayo and home grown tomatoes, sliced thin with salt and pepper. Bacon adds more to it. When I can get home grown tomatoes I have them as my main meal every day until they are gone. Never get tired of them!!
 
I love tomatoes and Jersey tomatoes are the best. Mine are late ripening in my garden this year because of the crazy weather we have been having. As I grow older my garden may shrink in size but I'll always grow tomatoes. A fresh,sun warmed tomato right off the vine is total perfection. Thank you Mother Nature.
 
My mom would tell me that back in Austria they would eat whole tomatoes just like fruits; bite into them like apples. That was a treat. On the other hand, she also mentioned how they would save cooking lard and use it as a spread on bread. :eek:
