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.
For salad, consider cherry tomatoes. For a sandwich, consider a tomato relish. Big, but similar flavour profile, but different texture.
Your substitute for tomatoes is different tomatoes? Bold choice
Yes, as it seems to be a texture rather than flavour issue and relish has a very different texture, while retaining the recipe taste.
Bold choice indeed
