This is it for me. When the tomato gets ripe right there in front of you, the taste ruins all other tomatoes forever.

Same with strawberries. Why even bother buying some little red water crunches in December? Buy the real ones from farmers market that taste like real strawberries. Embrace seasonality. Don’t live in some Boomer fantasy where the shape of the water crunchies available in January means we beat the Soviets.
