I Don't Hate the Sun, I Just Hate What it Does to Drying Tomatoes!
The
list of things I don't enjoy eating is a very short one, and near the
top of that list is sun-dried tomatoes. I love the concept – sweet,
vine-ripened plum tomatoes, slowly drying in the hot Italian sun – while
we're waiting, we play bocce ball, drink jug wine, and eat lardo. What a
scene.
Too bad I hate the taste. To me, and I've had dozens of
varieties, sun-dried tomatoes have a really strong, bitter, almost
medicine-y flavor that I just can't handle.
