During our exploring this weekend, we passed several small markets that were selling large orange tomatoes. Dave loves tomatoes and commented several times how good they looked. I shrugged it off because I’m not a huge tomato fan. He’s had a sinus infection for the past couple days and while I was at the local grocery store, I picked one up in an attempt to help him feel a little bit better (plus extra vitamin C).
Here are my dinner veggie preps. I made chicken salad with sprouts, celery, fresh lettuce and orange tomato slices on the side. The chicken salad was served on a fresh croissant.
The celery comes with leaves!?!
The chicken salad was delicious. Even though Dave couldn’t really taste it with the sinus infection and I forgot to snap a picture.
The orange tomato on the other hand… was not a tomato!!
Hmmmm… doesn’t look like a tomato
The orange tomato veggie tasted like a sweet potato mixed with a pumpkin. It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t what it seemed. This experience justifies the necessity to use Google Translate in the grocery store. Just when I was feeling good about getting around and shopping in town, I was handed a bite of sweet potato pumpkin tomato to bring me back to reality.
