The Importance of Tomatoes

As a kid, there were a lot of food textures that I just could not deal with. So it was like my mom would make this pasta sauce like spaghetti sauce that had tomatoes. She would like cook all day and have these chunks of tomato in it. And I just couldn't deal with that. Even today, if I have like a salad that has big chunks of tomato or a sandwich that has big slice of tomato, like that's not my favorite part of it.
