30 Day Writing Challenge: A Fruit I Dislike and Why

A Fruit I Dislike and Why

I love fruit. I could eat fruit all day every day. The only exception is tomatoes. I've never enjoyed those red juicy fruits often confused for vegetables. They have a weird texture, they taste disgusting, and they are really, really weird. I can eat things made from tomatoes, like catsup and pasta sauces and similar products, but not tomatoes. I always take them off of my food in restaurants. Imagine my surprise when I could no longer avoid them in my meals at my homestay in Costa Rica. We almost always have salad with our meals, and almost always, there are big chunks of tomatoes there. To be polite and not waste food, I force myself to eat them, but my taste buds are just not having it. It's a struggle, really. If you ever invite me over for a meal and try to serve me tomatoes, I'll probably force myself to eat them to be polite, but I'd rather just not have to deal with them in the first place. Thanks in advance!
