Having an Asian extended family, I think it's universal.

Absolutely universal because garlic and onion are amazing for any tongue.

And people who dislike like garlic or onions are always super sus, because no the fuck you don’t. You just think you don’t.

I knew someone who said she was “allergic to onions if she could see them”… that is not how allergies work dumbfuck, you are just a super basic bitch with no taste.

I knew a guy who said he was allergic to diced or sliced tomatoes. Happily ate ketchup and red pasta sauce.

That's actually a thing. Raw tomatoes vs cooked. I think it's called oral allergy syndrome.

I think there are people who really are allergic to only uncooked versions of the produce

Hi, it’s me 😜. Seriously, I have a minor tomato allergy where I’ll get a bit of a rash if I have tomatoes 2-3 days in a row. It’s annoying. I also don’t like the taste or texture of tomatoes.

However the taste and texture of so many things with tomatoes are so good, that I’m fine if I develop a rash. Adding onions, cilantro, and jalapeños to chunks of tomato turns it into something entirely different. Cooking it down with oregano, thyme, etc is also completely different in taste and texture.I’ll avoid the tomatoes themselves and I’ll still probably try to avoid the rash by not eating tomato meals too many days in a row though

So there's a salt in a lot of canned diced tomatoes (not all) that's used as a preservative that some people can be sensitive to. It helps keep the tomatoes firm while canned. (I worked briefly in a tomato cannery). IIRC it's one of the sodium citrates, but I can't remember which right now.

Really? I never knew that. I wonder if that’s what I’m actually allergic to

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

if you can have whole peeled tomatoes from the can but not the diced, that could be it. the salt set off my pancreas when my gut was going through a sensitive decade.

That guy was also a super basic bitch with no taste ;)

I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t really like tomatoes either. But I’m not a giant tool about it, and just say “I’m not really a fan of fresh tomatoes, but I’ll try it”

What a weiner. People are so weird.
