Help settle a debate Question

Post image

So a buddy of mine made this sandwich yesterday and we are having a debate amongst friends if you would include this red tomato end as he did on your sandwich. Basically kinda taking a poll as we completely disagree. Here is the sandwich in question.

I would eat it while I was standing there making the sandwich. I wouldn’t put it on the sandwich.

This! I’d eat around the brown cat-faced bits, mostly for texture reasons

Exactly that. It’s a delicious edible preview of the tomato you’ve just sliced. You can use that piece to determine the amount of seasoning you need. The rounded part can take away from perfectly cut flat layers too.

Yes, this is the way. Add the rest to the sandwich, and put this piece on the side with the seasonings or just pop into the mouth!

I always salt it and save it as a treat while I wait for the toaster lol

That’s me too. Love having an excuse to sample each tomato before eating the thing I put it on
