So I have some food sensitivity issues and in particular I don’t like raw tomato. They’re gooey and seedy and they just make me feel kind of weird. Unfortunately there are a lot of things, especially sandwiches, which use tomato as a fairly critical part of the flavor of the dish. So just taking it out isn’t ideally because it sometimes just makes the dish bland. I feel like processed tomato things like ketchup and tomato sauce don’t really fulfill the same kind of role in these dishes.
Does anyone have any opinions/suggestions on what types of foods could plausibly be used as a substitute for raw tomato? It could be anywhere, but I’m thinking of things like sandwiches, salads, etc.
I can’t tell if you actually have an allergy or just don’t like them. There are a lot of different tomatoes so I’d explore those including Tomatillos if you aren’t allergic. If you are allergic. I’d start looking at persimmons, zucchini, eggplant, maybe peppinos even some more mild apples. Don’t go for “sweet or tart”.
