I love all things tomato except actual tomatoes. Its the texture I don't like.

Is anyone else like this?

Weird...I know

You're not alone Choccy - I'm exactly the same! I also have a friend who feels the same about tomatoes and we were so pleased to realise we weren't alone!

Tomatoes from the supermarket tend to be tasteless and hard. They are totally different if you grow your own.

It's the way the squelch when you cut or bite into them - makes me want to barf

Thats what gets me as well. But I like tomato sauces, tined tomatoes all things like that.

Surely tinned tomatoes squelch and splurt juice everywhere more because they have no skin?

That's why I buy chopped!

I am fine with tinned. I dont like the skin and flesh thing in my mouth.

I buy chopped tomamtoes rather than plum. Also, i think home-grown tomamtoes are out of this world compared to the rubbish in the supermarkets. They have totally ruined the fresh fruit and vegetable industry by forcing plastic-looking tastless fruit and veg on us for that last 30 years.

Some supermarket fruit is very tastless. M&S lead the way taste wise.
