McDonald's holds the tomatoes
Your Big Mac won't have tomatoes on it today because McDonald's just announced it won't be serving sliced tomatoes at any of its restaurants over concerns about Salmonella food poisoning linked to uncooked tomatoes. From the Associated Press: McDonald’s will continue to serve grape tomatoes in its salads because no problems have been linked to that variety. Those tomatoes I've got growing in the back yard are looking better by the minute! — Andrew Mockett

Just found out today about this recall here too. Growing tomatoes in Bakersfield came easy for me. Really great tasting tomatoes. Here in Casper I can't grow a decent tomatoe to save my life! Unless I get a green house. I stink at it here. Weather is so unpredictable. posted by

I don't want to rub it in, but my garden is coming along brilliantly. My tomatoes are blooming like nobodies business. I even have a few grape tomatoes on one plant. I had so many plants come up from seeds this year, I had trouble giving them away. You're right, Bakersfield is a great place to grow tomatoes. posted by

Yeah. My dad and I have over 20 tomato plants in the ground right now -- not to mention the myriad little seedlings coming up in the potato rows that are the offspring from last year's Black Pearls. I soooo cannot wait until we have so many growing that we can't pick them all in one day. It starts to drive me crazy and I just love it. You're all right -- it's easy to grow tomatoes in Bakersfield. I also have a few pink Brandywines in small pots right now that I'm allowing to grow some more before I transplant them into the ground. We actually planted them late this year, but we do have a few Sweet 100s growing, and a few other tomatoes that are growing on the plants. I can't remember their names. Our three patio tomatoes on the porch (only one of which is a real patio tomato) started producing and ripening in the middle of May. Yeeeeeah. I love it. I'm hoping that things go well enough in the garden so I can take it all down to the farmers market. That would be sooo much fun. posted by

Why don't they offer grilled tomatoes instead, a little different but you would still get your tomato. posted by

On the same news where I saw the controversial school issue, I also saw grocers hauling tomatoes out of the markets. Only 3 kind were listed. Romas being one...never heard of the other two. I like tomatoes but can live without them. Sure puts a crimp in the BLT biz though, doesn't it? posted by

No one can tell me this isn't the fault of Bill and Hillary Clinton! It is because of people like this that Salmonella sneaks its way into our food supply. Just another effort in the liberal agenda to weaken our resolve. That is why I am voting for McCain. posted by
