Tomatoes Please
Have you ever felt embarrassed of your order at a restaurant? On one hand you want what you want. On the other hand, you are a functioning (supposedly) member of society and you feel pressure to behave in a particular way in order not to be deemed mental. This person chose a path to order his food that he must have felt was least crazy.
A salad that holds everything except the tomatoes is, in the end, just some tomatoes. It’s better to just head to your local supermarket and find some gorgeous locally grown tomatoes and have a feast! I get it man- add some olive oil, salt, and pepper and you’ve got a meal. But in a restaurant? Yikes.
