Good point, at least as far as the Mexicans end up eating the tariff costs.
Yeah, tomatoes can (and are in large quantities) be grown in the USA...of more concern are cocoa/chocolate, coffee and bananas...15%-50% tariffs on those non-USA grown products.

These are a little fruity and are delicious fresh eating, and make excellent
roasted + dehydrated tomatoes for adding to pizzas, etc. Slightly
thicker skins, which also makes them crack resistant. Some disease
resistance as well.
Red Gold is a producer of tomato products headquartered in Elwood, Indiana. All of their tomatoes are Roma and all are grown in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
(((Yawn)))
Pay the f ing tariffs! It’s not that big a deal.
It’s cheaper to import even tariff-bumped premium tomatoes. Plus - have zero room (or $) for a new structure in which to set up a hydroponics operation.
I’ve been a member of B.J.’s for well over 35 years. I just checked their website for rotisserie chicken, and they have a Harvestland 2.5 lb. whole rotisserie chicken for $6.99. The only other rotisserie chicken they have is their Wellesley and Purdue brand chicken leg quarters weighing 55 ounces for $6.99. I shop at the B.J.’s in Utica, N.Y. The next closest B.J.’s is in Colonie, New York outside of Albany, or Syracuse, and hour from me.
I just lucked out I guess...I eat a leg and freeze “parts” for future use...
Want to eat Mexican? Go to Mexico. And stay there.
I'm a white meat person. About the only time I eat chicken is in a salad. I buy a bag of the Fresh Express salad American blend, and add celery. I'll buy 3 chicken tenders from KFC, cut them up into bitesize pieces, sprinkle them with medium wing sauce, set them in the salad, spoon out Lighthouse's Chunky Blue Cheese dressing on it, mix it all up and top it with taco strips and yum, yum, yum...great buffalo chicken salad.
Wow, they are really scrapping the bottom.
The Left has managed to destroy so many things, and eating out is one of them.
It is now ridiculously expensive to eat out. My wife and I had lunch today. She got nachos. I got a small pizza. The food was awful.
And it cost us $50.
This is on the Left. They have screwed up the currency, the supply chains, the wages for servers, you name it. We don’t eat out much anymore, and today reminded us why.
So I would say to these Leftist a-holes: Spare me your sob stories about restaurants becoming more expensive due to “Trump’s Tariffs”.
Take those stories, and shove them up your rectums until you choke on them, and it shouldn’t take long for that to happen given the proximity of your throats and rectums.
DC figured that an average of over two restaurants per week were closing there. The clueless couldn’t figure out that the raise in minimum wage, higher rents and higher utility costs were related.
Oh, and crime.
All of them use Roma tomatoes - there are no other kind to substitute?
The Roma tomato is the substitute. The Roma is a creation of the USDA in 1955.
The only tomato for an authentic Neopolitan pizza is the San Marzano, not the Roma.
Also, the mozzarella must be mozzarella di bufala, from buffalo milk. The alternative from cow's milk is called fior di latte, not mozzarella.
An official certified Neopolitan pizza in Italy must meet ingredient standards set by the Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP).

Exactly! Instead of $25 lunch it will be $26.50 lunch. I can handle it without breaking a sweat.
That is most likely true.
