    My two least favorite things individually, yet essential to so many delicious things.

    I would immediately use them to make some food and bring it over.

      You dislike tomatoes? They aren’t the best thing plain, but they’re fine. A little salt and they’re pretty good plain.

      I understand not liking onions alone, but I enjoy them. I can’t just eat a whole onion raw on its own, but I do enjoy eating some.

        It’s the texture.

        The taste is distinct, but not really bad. I don’t mind the mild flavor left over in a sandwich that had a tomato slice.

        But I can’t stand the texture of a tomato. Not sure exactly why, but even a small chunk in soup or salsa makes me gag. I blend salsa up so it’s consistent.

        And onions are both for me. A tiny piece of onion will ruin the entire burrito. From the weird crunch to the taste that lingers even after I down a few chips and half my drink.

        I go through onion powder fairly quick though, I add a little bit to a lot of my dishes.

          It’s unfortunate. My husband also hates tomatoes…but loves what they become. So it’s all about the texture of a raw tomato for him as well!
