Question

whats wrong with me?

Answer 1

yes,    yes you are

Answer 2

there is nothing wrong with us, it saddens me that salsa took over the top selling condiment in the US. I don't think i can have to much ketchup on my burgers,  

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with you, I hate raw tomatoes but will eat just about anything with cooked tomatoes. It's just a matter of taste.

Answer 4

no ketchup has loads of sugar and other things in it. it doesnt even taste like real tomatoes i like both

Answer 5

Nope, we're the same. I also love tomato catsup but I hate the texture of tomatoes. You're not a freak, or maybe we're both freaks.

Answer 6

I also love the taste of tomatoes. Tomato soup, ketch up, juice,.... But I don't like tomatoes. I think its the texture I don't like.  

Answer 7

Tomato ketchup contains so much salt and sugar that it covers up the taste of the tomatoes.

Answer 8

don't think you are a freak but you are definately a little weird all of you that like tomato based product but not tomatos

Answer 9

Well if you are a freak then so am I because i love tomato ketchup and I hate tomatoes

Answer 10

No. You are most definitely not a freak. tomato ketchup and tomatoes taste way different from each other already. I also love tomato ketchup but i hate cooked tomatoes such as grilled tomatoes.it's either, ketchup or raw. pasta sauce and tomato sauces are fine.I don't like tomatoes that are cooked whole or sliced. I want them to be pureed or something.  

Answer 11

i'm the same way

Answer 12

No nothing at all . But perhaps your experience of tomatoes is based on some very under ripe ones

I am not to keen on some forms of tomatoes but love the smaller ( not just cherry type) ones which are a bit sweeter and add a bit of salt  

Answer 13

I knew one person who did not like tomats but ketchup he liked don't remember who he was though.

Answer 14

Personal preference in food doesn't make one a freak.  However, don't give up on the tomato.  Try to find out what it is that you about them exactly you don't like.  For me I could probably say the same thing about olives.  I stayed away from them for years.  Then when I ordered a bowl of soup that had them in it (unbeknown to me) I realized maybe it was just black olives I didn't care for?  Or maybe I had some olives that were bad or even just not that great back when I was 5 and convinced myself that all olives were to be shunned.  Now, I realize olives have their place in the world.  Not only that but there are so many varieties each with their own unique flavors.  I truly would be missing out if I didn't take a chance on them again.
