The Tantalising Tomato
The best thing about tomatoes is that they are always in season! And easily available. In vegetable markets, on street-corner carts, in the baskets that vendors carry and call on housewives in housing societies from door to door, and in clinically packed containers in 21st century food supermarkets.
Tomatoes are also available canned, pureed, sun-dried, in ketchups, in sauces, in chutneys... truly, �tis always in season!
