It is my theory that eating a whole tomato is as close as one can get to eating out a woman without actually doing so. You know that the old Italian name for tomatoes would translate into 'love apples'? I suspect that the edenic apple was actually a tomato. Apples are so... Puritan.

Tomatoes and Pomegranates. Are such sensual experiences, tactile and gustatory and visually rich. The sloppy experience of eating them commands your attention, given gladly. They so make it worth being human.
