Do you eat the tomato garnish? (a ridiculous poll)

[Fireguy29]

The Mrs. and I just returned from a 12 night on the Anthem. One of those nights, while at dinner, we began discussing the tomato garnish that seems to pop up different meals, room service etc.. on all the RCI ships we've been on. I began to wonder, how many tomatos do they go through?, and how many get tossed because of people like me who don't eat the tomato garnish. I said I thought the majority of them probably went back to the kitchen. You would think we would have much better things to discuss on a cruise, right? Anyway, she kiddingly suggested I start a poll here to satisfy my curiosity. So, here it is... Do you eat the fried tomato garnish, or is it just fish food?

I always eat mine. Nobody else in my family does so I usually eat theirs too.

I'm just like Dave. And cooked tomatoes are very good for you!

Let's start a parsley poll.

I don't consider the grilled tomato that comes with room service breakfast a garnish. I've always thought of it as part of the meal. I eat it.

I don't really like raw tomatoes unless they are grown in my garden or my parents garden, so I rarely eat them raw anywhere. I pick them off sandwiches if I forget to tell them not to put them on. I don't really like grilled tomatoes anyway-just singed raw tomatoes to me. So, NO.

[mrpayroll]

Always eat it..

[39august]

Yes, part of the meal to me. But I can't vote as there is no choice for grilled tomatoes. They are not fried.

[spookwife]

hate red tomatoes. only time I ever eat them is on a BLT.

 

usually the breakfast one is a roma or cherry so I don't feel bad about not eating it.

[CanadaRob]

Also eat the tomato and Btw I don't eat the parsley ;)

We always eat breakfast in the MDR and like the grilled tomatoes.

[Mickeylee]

Love the grilled tomatoes and usually order extras.

[pandaball]

I swear this next cruise I'm going to set my alarm to get to the MDR for breakfast just so I can experience the legendary tomato.

[Pumbaamd]

No need to lose any sleep over this. Sometimes you will sea them in the WJ displayed between the scrambled eggs and the turkey sausage.

Yes but can I have the full tomato experience without the proper ambiance? :p

OK, get up early. Go to the MDR. Enjoy your tomato.

Next, go to the pool bar, have a Bloody Mary, or two, to continue your tomato theme.

Next, on to the WJ, and try their tomatoes to get the whole, full, complete tomato adventure.

Let us know how it all comes out.

If you write a good review, RCCL may sell this as an on board tour.

Cruisin' with the 'maters- I like where your head's at!

[searoses]

I detest tomatoes....

My husband likes to eat tomatoes every day so he always takes a couple of the grilled tomatoes from the WJ every morning.
