I can't stand raw tomatoes, as cherry tomatoes or big fat slices of tomatoes, but I like spaghetti sauce, salsa, guacamole, and pizza with slices of tomatoes that have been slightly cooked on top.
I think it's the realization of knowing I'm eating it plainly that grosses me out.
Everybody always says I will get over it. I don't think I will. HELP! I want to enjoy cherry tomatoes, but I fear the seeds popping in my mouth.

Why do you WANT to enjoy tomatoes? I mean, I love them, but if I didn't, it's not the end of the world. Tomatoes are very healthy, but lots of other vegetables are healthy, too. Have you ever tried drinking tomato juice? You might like that, if you're determined to like tomatoes for some reason.

Try the tomatoes different ways. Like slice a tomatoe in thin slices and make a sandwich of tomatoe with mayo.

Why don't you try eating Italian Roma tomatoes? They are mostly flesh without a lot of seeds. Try cutting them open and scooping out the seed portion. You will end up with a lot of tomato flesh to taste. You might like it.

No, still don't like them. I will eat anything cooked, even stewed tomatoes, ketchup, salsa. But raw, just can't do it. My age is secret though. Good luck!
P.S. V8 never touched my lips!
