It certainly does not taste like one today. Though, it really used to. Tomatoes used to be sweet and delicious.

They used to eat tomatoes with sugar because they were sour.

Tomatoes have a lot of acid in them, but they can still be sweet and flavorful. But even the ones you can get at the u-pick farm are flavorless and too pithy.

I had some sour tomatoes once and tried some maple syrup on them. Ummm Good.
