Haha, what a delight, my first wild spotting of the thorn (þ) character! I watched a YouTube video by a language nerd who'd love to see it resurrected :)
Or just decent heirloom tomatoes, not the mealy garbage spread across half of the grocery. There are so many varieties with an abundance of unique flavors, and all relatively easy to grow yourself. Heirloom roma tomatoes are hearty, delicious, and culinarily versatile, so they’ve been my pick for ages. Haven’t lucked into an unpleasant variety yet!
I'm always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It's like night and day.
I didn't know heirlooms would be just as easy to grow. I might give it a go... I love their taste, unfortunately the price is a bit on the ridiculous sometimes.
It's such a strange concept. "Here kid, eat this food you hate or I'm going to starve you!" You wouldn't do this to an adult, and we'd all hate to be in the position of having food we hate force on us. So why do we do it to our kids? Sure, maybe we need them to eat something other than hot dogs and candy; but, we can do better than just, "this is why I bought so you will eat it!"
