I smiled ear to ear reading this. I too learned that I only hate tomatoes in the US! Thanks for reminding me of how delicious they can be 🤤

Here in Sevilla the go-to tomatoes are from Los Palacios and wow did you get me excited for when they’re in season. Is gazpacho popular in Italy? I love a good gazpacho, I do tomatoes, onion, a little bit of garlic, cucumber, green pepper, and lots of olive oil vinegar and salt, immersion blender and voila.

No, no gazpacho 😢 I’ll have to go to Spain for it!

You should try making it too if you’re up for it, the key ingredient is delicious tomatoes and it’s so easy to make! 😊

"If Neapolitans knew how good they had it, they would remove their Diego Maradonna effigies and start praying to the Patron Saint of Pomodorini." - Loved this line, Brenna! (And love a good summer tomato, too.)
