Are You Trying to Make Your Own Tomatoes?

Akusi says he thinks the Chinese would go on better though, don't they? I remember eating like, Sichuan hot pot, which is like boiling chili oil. We're not supposed to have tomatoes on the shelf in February - this thing drives me mad. There's nothing that tastes better than a sun-warmed ripe tomato straight off the vine. And then you get these hard pale red nuggets of forced grown tomato at this time of year. They're awful.
