What is it about the tomato? Since the Colombian Exchange it

Perfect combination of sweet, acidic and umami. If one were to believe in god, which would be foolish, the only reason would be the tomato.

>Since the Colombian Exchange it has found its way into basically every food culture
as have peppers

Tomatoes should be revered.

there's no pleasing 4chan when it comes to words so why are you still fighting?

Chinese and Japanese food doesn't use the tomato hardly ever

Let me guess, you're a fat NEET permavirgin?

6'3", 210lbs. Virgin? That ended when I was 17 years old. The mcChicken and tendies thread is that direction.

The Japanese use ketchup though.

But yeah, you're right. Wonder why that is though.

And here's my fedora, which yes looks good on a 6'3" 210lb frame. Called a "bitch magnet" in my woods, especially when I have the bantz to match it.

Well at least in Japan they have a lot of Italian restaurants. They also seem to be pretty against fusion food, curry being an obvious exception

I've seen tomatoes in Chinese food but this is American Chinese so it doesn't count
