To be fair, the flavor does change when tomatoes are cooked. Some things (like the acidity) are more prominent when it’s raw. Like me personally I don’t mind pickles on a burger but id never eat a pickle straight up.

it’s almost as if texture and taste change change when you prepare, season and cook a thing and put it on something else.

Not Italian, but I am that person. Tomatoes just raw on burgers for example just muddy the taste for me and the consistency just yuck me out.

Tomato sauce is usually made from canned tomatoes. The varieties that are used for those are different from the fresh ones in the supermarket. They are selected for their taste and don’t have to survive a long logistics chain. They can also be riper when harvested.

This was me until I started growing my own tomatoes. Store bought tomatoes taste like spoiled water at worst, and nothing at best. Homegrown tomatoes made me realize why people like tomatoes.

Welcome to how cooking works. Like garlic in food is great but next time you’re cutting it up, just take a bite of a clove of garlic and let me know how that tastes

I don’t think there’s anything strange from not liking the texture of a raw tomato but enjoying it cooked into a sauce.

The secret is.. cooked and seasoned tomatoes taste better.
And, pro-tip, most foods taste better when cooked and seasoned.
Just dont tell that to the plains states in America.

Maybe because american tomatoes are terrible and people can stand them when they’re cooked but when they’re raw they taste like ass? This is a lot less of an issue with people when they get tomatoes that are actually fresh.
