Seriously, why do they exist? I put some in my salad and they just sit there on the bottom of the bowl waiting to be thrown away becasue you can't eat pick them up to eat them. You try to spear them with the fork and they just roll away. You try to scoop them up onto the fork and just as they get to your mouth, they roll off, crashing into the dressing and splashing it all over your shirt.
Why do they exist?

Posted: 2/17/05 at 1:43pmgrape tomatoes are tasty... you could cut them in half before you toss them into your salad. they take up more dressing that way as well...

Posted: 2/17/05 at 1:43pmI don't really like tomatoes, but they're so CUTE, those little ones! Cherry and grape ones alike.

"I pop xanax like grape tomatos"
A person after my own heart.
You can't cut the damned things before you put them into the salad. They are resistant to all utensils. Besides, I got them at a salad bar

I pop valium like xanax. So what does that say?
If xanax is to grape tomatoes and valium is to xanax, then...
a) xanax is good
b) valium is good
c) valium is to grape tomatoes
d) ALL OF THE ABOVE

Posted: 2/17/05 at 1:52pmThey exist to be yummy. And they're not that hard to spear with a fork. :)

Posted: 2/17/05 at 1:53pmnever underestimate the importance of a serrated knife... a cheap steak knife will work, though...

Posted: 2/17/05 at 1:54pmNo, honey, you can get those little pill splitters at Rite-Aid. But why would you want to cut the fun in half?

Posted: 2/17/05 at 2:00pmof course, they could be hard to spear if one has popped one too many valiums or xanaxes....

Posted: 2/17/05 at 2:05pmThey are not supposed to be in salads. They are supposed to be cut in half and placed cut side down on top of a cracker smeared with cream cheese and served as appetizers.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 2/17/05 at 2:05pmPlus, if you're really taking that many, you can definitely imagine that you have actually taken the tomato and eaten it.

"grape" tomatoes were developed because large, supermarket tomatoes taste amazingly like..well...nothing. Those bitty things were found to have more flavor and were easier to ship ripe since they could be packed up into one pint plastic boxes to protect them during shipping.
As far as utensils, look down at your keyboard for the perfect ones; Yes, use your fingers. Lick them clean afterwards or get a dog to do it.
Or get a pint of fresh mozzarella marinated in olive oil with herbs. Toss in a couple pints of grape tomatoes and eat as much as you can with out throwing up. The leftovers are great tossed into hot pasta.

I'm a big fan of grape tomatoes, also, and toss them in salads quite often.
In the summertime, there's nothing like a fresh 'beefsteak' tomato drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar and topped with fresh basil leaves. Yum!

Posted: 2/17/05 at 4:15pmI cut them in half. They are easy to pick up and they soak up the dressing.
