The green bit on top is called a peduncle.

I like the psychology lesson you gave at the end regarding the reason for serving exactly 3.

People asking about temp... Yes, you probably can taste more if served at room temp (like when tasting cheese), but chilling makes it seem a little extra special for whatever reason. Especially for a "salad." Would you prefer an ice cold glass of tomato juice, or a room temp one?

A naked tomato has few secrets, a flayed tomato has none.

I'm eating a classy bowl of ramen while watching this. I finally took the bull by the utters and bought cayenne pepper. This is my first use to test it out. It is the perfect heat with out being overpowering. Its like some kind of addictive drug that I would know nothing about.... Thanks Chef John. Its so good I might as well have bought if off the shifty guy on the street corner.

Huzzah! Three cheers for the return of the FSWS!

[CM_Burns]

You are the Ned Flanders of your naked cherry-didly idly bittly

I don't think I've ever heard anyone be so enthusiastic and enthralled by tomatoes before, but it was highly amusing. While I personally can't stand tomatoes myself, this looked delicious beyond words. Almost made me want to try them, almost. Well done.

Naked? I dont think my parents want me to watch this video
