Tomato technique

I always think of Kiwis as tasting somewhat like strawberries.

They remind me of blueberries, taste-wise, and scrotums visually.

Visually? You have been spoiled :-)

I always have kiwi to cleanse my palette after brunch, so many months
ago. it's strawberry 'seeded.' kinda/sorta.

But it's a great fruit if it's ripe (dark green) when you get them on
your plate, imho,

Honestly, I think you'd need more lime juice or other acidic thing
then. Kiwis have a sourness to them.

To me they taste like a cross between strawberries and watermelon.

Heh, my friend Winnie says they look like a black man's balls.
I guess she would know.

They do bear a striking resemblance, don't they?

Not all that long ago, there was a small discussion about cutting up onions
lengthwise so that fewer cell walls would be ruptured. That technique was
attributed to Thomas Keller (though he might not have been the first to come
up with it). Apparently, there's a similarly fussy way to prepare tomatoes.

I'm currently reading _Tapas, a Taste of Spain in America_, by José Andrés.
In the book he mentioned removing "fillets" from tomatoes. As we all know, a
tomato is made up of chambers containing seeds and some jelly-like stuff
holding the seeds together. By judicious cutting and scooping, you can
remove each chamber's contents as one lump of seedy goo. That lump is what
is being called the "fillet."

Has anybody run across the term "tomato fillet" or that technique before?(I
suppose if we're talking about tomato fillets, we must be using BEEFSTEAK
tomatoes!)

That seed pulpy stuff is my favorite part of the tomato!

A couple took their young son for his first visit to the circus, and by
chance their seats were next to the elephant pen. When his father left to
buy popcorn, the boy piped up, "Mom, what's that long thing on the
elephant?"

"That's the elephant's trunk, dear," she replied.

"No, not that."

"Oh, that's the elephant's tail."

"No, Mom. Down underneath."

His mother blushed and said, "Oh, that's nothing."

Pretty soon the father returned, and the mother went off to get a soda. As
soon as she had left the boy repeated his question.

"That's the elephant's trunk, son."

"Dad, I know what an elephant's trunk is. The thing at the other end."

"Oh, that's the elephant's tail."

"No. Down there underneath."

The father took a good look and explained, "That's the elephant's penis."

"Dad, how come when I asked Mom, she said it was nothing?"

The man sighed and said, "Son, I've spoiled that woman."

Here it is. Notes are hers:

Tomato-kiwi Salsa

6 kiwi fruit
6 tomatoes (romas work well)
fresh cilantro bunch
half of a small red onion
juice of one fresh lime
salt

Chop up the kiwis, tomatoes and onion into small dice (be sure to peel
the kiwis first ;-P ) Stir together. Chop cilantro and add as much or
as little as you like (I usually add a lot, as in about half the
bunch). Half lime and squeeze juice into mixure and stir. taste--if it
is limey enough no need to add more--if you like more citrus add the
juice of the rest of the lime. Salt to taste.

Serene

Thanks!! I'll give this one a try later this summer when I get some good
tomatoes.

Yep. Sounds weird. Tastes heavenly.

However, don't you think replacing the kiwis by watermelon woudl be
better? 🙂

Honestly, I think you'd need more lime juice or other acidic thing
then. Kiwis have a sourness to them.

True. I really meant it as joke, but I would definitely try it.

I always think of Kiwis as tasting somewhat like strawberries.

On that note: just today, on u.f.misc I said that strawberry + kiwi
tastes like banana to me.

Not exaclty what you're saying, but your post reminded me of that.

There are a few other posts there regarding food combinations tasting
like completely different thrid foods.I also often find that licorice +
a sip of cofffee can taste smokey.

You mean you are going to use this in cooking?

Well, if it leads to a smoky taste, why not? I could broil or pan-sear a
hanger steak and serve it with a sauce made from tomatoes, onions, garlic,
red pepper flakes, sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper, coffee, and licorice.
