Is it normal that i eat tomatoes like you would eat an apple?

I have ALWAYS loved tomatoes ever since I was really little. I simply wash them off and bite into them, eating them quite like other people eat apples. My parents have always told me that this isn't normal and that nobody else out there does this.

Is it normal that I don't even cut the tomato? I just eat it like other people would eat an apple.

    Well it's stupid because the juices squirt out of it and they don't wash out easily out of clothes...

    My little cousin loved tomatoes when he was a baby. Each time he was home I would treat him with one. Now he refuses to believe that he loved these when he was a baby.

    Personally I like them with a little salt and pepper and sliced!

    My sister does this, so in my opinion it's normal. Tomatoes are yummy! Why waste time cutting them neatly when it could be in your belly now? <3

  • Totally normal, I really love tomatoes, but the thought of biting into them like that grosses me out for some reason. I can't eat tomato by itself, I always need it in something. Like a sandwich, salad, or cooked in a spaghetti.

    My grandfather used to just bite into beetroots like that.

    haha YES it's very normal. Tomatoes have always been one of my favorite foods...try it diced up, with a bit of diced up onions, with lemon, salt, and pepper. Sooo good.

    I used to slice them up first, but yup. Sounds normal to me. I stopped, though, due to acid reflux.

    Tomatoes are actually a fruit so I don't see why this wouldn't be normal.

    No one where I live eats them like that because they say that the seeds give you apendicitis. I believe that's true as many people I know who have been operated for this have been told that the seeds were to blame. The doctors always open the appendix to see what caused the infection. Maybe it's no not such a good idea to eat them this way.

    My family has always done this. Usually they would be sliced first but when you are out in the garden you just bite into them as you would any other garden treat.
