I’m a fan of the tomato mayo sandwich. Sometimes I put one slice of American cheese on it.
We thought BLTs were the bomb but SIL from upstate NY suggested BLT&Es ... add eggs. Those are pretty darn good, too.
I’m drooling with the anticipation of such a sandwich! lol
Add some lettuce and you have the classic BLT. Yummy.
I love sliced tomatoes on grilled cheese sandwiches with some pesto sauce on the tomatoes. Use some fancy bread instead of white. Nothing better. IMHO.
The father of my college friend loved tomato sandwiches.
He created boxes just a little smaller than the bread slices. He placed the boxes on the big boy hybrid tomatoes and the result was fruit that perfectly fit the bread
I urge you all to grow Sun Gold Tomato’s, the best cherry tomato evah!

“Yer California tomato’s are grown in Mexico now.”
Read the label on your Walmart ones. They come from Chili, not Mexico. And Walmart is not a California business. They office in Bentonville, Arkansas. And they buy where the price is, not necessarily the better product. So are the tomatoes in California actually grown in Mexico? No, but the ones you seem to enjoy from Chili, that are shipped to Walmart packers green and then gassed containing GMO, aren’t in California either.
In the US, GMO tomatoes including GMO cherry tomatoes are no longer planted due to consumer resistance. Can’t say the same for the Walmart tomatoes. As you may well know, Chili isn’t in the US and the laws for the use of GMO are only listed in FDA regulations for US grown products. So Walmart is getting around the consumer complaints of GMO tomatoes and gassing by misdirection. Same thing the democrats do. It’s called “talkaround.” And people that are not looking before they leap by reading the labels and asking questions are many times not actually getting what they think they are. Walmart tomatoes are one item. But as long as they label the product as GMO, they are legal. FDA says they can’t be grown here, unlike sold for consumption. And large amounts of tomatoes. GMO or not, are used in the beef industry as a fodder alternative. Tomatoes have the energy and protein content of high quality hay. And these must be very ripe to protect the systems in their cattle thus they are gassed. So there’s a market for cheaper tomatoes grown outside the US in many ways, GMO or not, human or not.
