For me? Its the humble tomato sandwich!
How can something so simple be so fucking good?

For me it's tomato + avocado + mayo + black pepper. Maybe some turkey.

Because a home grown tomato is unbeatable in the realm of fruit or vegetables, and the mayo and crunch of some toasted bread elevates it further. Truly a sandwich for the sophisticated as well as the down trodden. An olive branch, if you will.

Have you tried grating it? That's how they do it in Spain, where pan con tomate is a very common breakfast food. Adding Spanish ham is optional, but putting some good quality olive oil and rubbing a garlic clove over the toast before adding salted grated tomato is wonderful just like that.

Eh, sounds great, but too much stuff, the beauty of the thing in OP is its simplicity when you want a quick and easy snack
>>19548511
It really is, but its one of those things that absolutely depend on the quality of the stuff you have
I've been eating them whole summer when I'm too lazy for a more elaborate snack, but I have amazing home grown tomatoes. Also.i make great homemade mayo, haven't bought any in years. And if you have a freshly baked homemade bread too, or at least something nice from a bakery, its absolutely godly. I make it as simple as possible, just those ingredients, so.w salt and pepper and I like to put a few slices of fresh onion for that zing.
But the difference between that and a sandwich made with some shitty articles supermarket GMO tomato, some garbage Heinz or whatever mayo and a few slices of that horrible, sugary, fake supermarket bread is day and night.
Also, fuck toasting the bread, it makes it way harder to eat without falling apart

>> No.19550571

Vine ripe tomatoes, sliced
Diced white onions on top
Sprinkle of salt
Fresh cracked/ground peppercorns

This alone tastes like a full-course meal.

I found no difference really, besides for toasted sandwiches making 1000 grams of crumbs with each bite. For me it's entirely the difference in texture.
