Farmers in that area are very competitive with selling their produce, when it comes to being near Supermarkets especially. In the UK you'll notice everything is on a smaller scale, so there's an importent choice in where to shop, and you guys hit the jackpot, Great Job!👍
All of that produce can be grown in the Uk. Tomatoes are very easy to grow as are berries so long as you keep care of them so they are all pretty affordable here in the uk. I also know that certain areas of England are very high competitively so have to have low prices because of that. It very much depends on where you go
You should make ALOT of spaghetti and then when ur done u should freeze the left overs and have it when it’s a lazy day and u don’t wanna make something to eat you can just reheat the sauce and boil some pasta ;)
It helps too that the UK is smaller than the US. Shipping food from the UK to Ireland is a shorter distance than shipping oranges from Florida to upper NYS. Getting food from other countries in the UK is a shorter trip.
I live near the Tennessee/Kentucky boarder and get stuff that cheap all the time from Amish/Mennonite farmers or just local farmers! A lot of the cost is transportation so the closer you are the better the deal. The UK is tiny in comparison so even driving from one end to the other is a smaller fee.
For me, I have a local upick in the summer in southern US and it cost me $11 USD for a 5 gal bucket (18.9 L) full of fresh produce I picked. Now I have to pick it myself in the hot sun, but i am allowed up to 10 buckets a day if I want. I actually do it really early in the morning and have so much fresh produce that lasts for a couple months just chilling on the hanging baskets I have. I’ll make refrigerator pickles too and can tomatoes.
That's not a farmer's market. We have those shops all over the south UK, but they import their produce from all over the world just like big supermarkets. The Bath farmer's market happens on Sundays in green park station.
You could slice some into smaller portions and heat them up in a pan with a warm breakfast. Or puree some into a fine paste, add personal favorate seasonings, and top on a grain dish. And if you have leftover sause- there's always the choice of making your own special pizza. The options are endless, so you can only choose what satisfies your cravings.
The price of fruit and veg in the UK is considered usually expensive compared to most of Europe, although I would say those are good prices, especially because none of that fruit is in season (if you shot that recently). A lot of the fruit in Europe is actually grown in huge greenhouses in Spain. But I don't know if that's the case in this case.
UK fruit and veg is dirt cheap in comparison to the rest of western Europe. I've lived in the Netherlands and Norway and fresh stuff is SOOOO much more expensive than back home.
@@JarvisChrist netherlands and Norway (specially the latter) ARE very expensive places though ! And I agree with the answer below, Spain, Portugal and Italy are also great places to purchase this. If you got to a market in France, you will have the samish prices that you see in this video (not in stores though) 🤷♀️
There’s definitely local growers in the UK that sell their produce, though obviously it’s far more dependent on the season, farmer’s markets are always local no?
There is a chutney you can have, maybe with momos, it's made with tomatoes, red onions, dried red chillies and garlic. It's made by sauteing them until the onions are translucent and the tomatoes are broken down. Then just blend it in a blender. The ratio of tomato to onions is 2:1
You can cut the tomatoes in half, lay them on a baking sheet face up, sprinkle some simple seasonings on them and bake on the lowest oven temp to dehydrate them for several hours! They become these savory roasted tomatoes that taste similar to sundried tomatoes. You can put them on pizza, fresh bread with cheeses or oil and vinegar. They're SO GOOD ❤️
Those types of tomatoes on the vine are so good for grilling to serve with mushrooms for UK breakfasts and then when they’re on the last good day you can stew them all into a tomato sauce or blend and strain and have a Bloody Mary outside the cottage in the am
You could make soup, salsa, or relish. I’d definitely save some seeds to plant when you get home. I also like them sliced then add some apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper and let it marinate in the fridge for an hour. Makes a nice tomato salad. Tomato sandwiches are delicious as well.
With the tomatoes, I do this for a nice breakfast: First, i would slice a small white onion into strips. Then I would finely chop some garlic (maybe 2 cloves) Then cook the onion and garlic in some olive oil so they are soft but not brown. Then add maybe a handful and a bit of quartered or halved tomatoes. Squash the tomatoes to let some of the juices out when they are soft. Then take this out and add a fry an egg in the same pan. Then add a small bit of butter and then toast a bagel or some bread. Finally assemble it and enjoy! This is quite long but it is an idea of what to do with the tomatoes. Also this only feeds one person depending on the size of onion and tomatoes
Such a great deal !!! I would love that. Homeade pasta sauce, breakfast toast/scramble, cucumber salad, caprese salad, tomato soup, or a simple snack with salt and pepper
I might be wrong but I don’t think any of those fruits/veggies were grown locally - most likely the were imported from Spain etc. I think this stand in the video was one of the stands that buy the produce from central markets (those markets that also supply restaurants and open at like 4-5am) and then sell the produce on the same day. That’s why they are less expensive. But I think if you had bought the exact same products at Lidl/Aldi,… they would have been just as „fresh“ since they also import their veggies etc from Spain etc. But generally speaking buying fresh locally grown produce from the Farmers market can also be very affordable in Europe.
That's not from a farmer's market. That's just from a grocer stall in the middle of the high street. Those people import their produce from all over the world just like big supermarkets, and those little grocers are all over the south of the UK. I used to live in bath and know exactly the stall she went to, too. The guy who runs it is really friendly but he's not a farmer selling his produce, he's just selling the regular, cheap import stuff, which is, admittedly, much better than supermarket stuff, especially Sainsbury's.
Wow that's great to hear. My country is a agricultural country . But people started seeing farming as a lowly job and no educated person would do ..... Haaa . Its really good to know you guys are proud of your jobs. Farmers are literally the people who keep us all alive. Thanks for all the food you provide us 🤗
Uk farmers markets are very good and dorectly support local farmers! There are a lot of them in most towns and some of them are HUGE like a medieval bazaar!
You have to make fresh tomato sauce. I was literally blown away when I made it (I also had the same situation, found ridiculously cheap tomatoes at a farmers market). It’s thinner but so strong and sweet and tasty. Out of this world it’s literally unlike anything store bought and I never say that. I couldn’t believe how different it tasted
The berries you should freeze then make into smoothies (with Greek yoghurt and banana) and the tomatoes, you should put them inna baking tray, cover them with olive oil and chopped fresh basil and bake them on a low heat overnight (with stems attached). Bithnare very good.
The tomatoes cut open and toasted on artisan bread in the oven, with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt it makes for a savory and umami full snack
My grandmother always made sauce from scratch. One of her recipes was saute (med-low heat) onion, garlic, then add in tomatoes cut in half and cook first on the cut side. As they get soft, we'd start to mash them. She'd add sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (to taste). Then add asparagus, then fresh shrimp. She'd make pasta from scratch and we'd boil it, then add the pasta to finish cooking in the sauce. Then turn off the heat and add peccorino romano and basil. One of my childhood meals!
Yummm... Just cut them in half and throw them in a pan with olive oil, salt and basil! Cook until they squash and thicken. Makes the creamiest tomato sauce! Bag and freeze portioned up. When needed just warm it up in a pan and toss in spaghetti (but I think bavette are better) with a bit of their cooking water. The best simplest dish ever!
Fresh homemade tomatoes juice is AMAZING. Gently smash can cook down your tomatoes with herbs, salt, and pepper add water if needed and strain. Pop jars in the freezer and enjoy all year round!
Oh I love going by these stands in city’s and such, the people are always pretty nice, there’s one I go to that sells a bunch of nuts along with all the berries too, all fairly cheap, we often pick up a bag of walnuts if my dad wants them
That fruit stall is an icon in Bath, i remember going there as a small child. Though we do actually have markets in green park station. There you can also get warm food and buy fresh local farm milk from a vending machine.
Make some savory dish with the tomatoes- whether it’s pasta or a sauce or stew Tomato soup is really good when homemade, but you’d need a blender to make it creamy and smooth
I'd make that Tik Tok meal where you fill a baking tray up with the tomatoes with a block of feta cheese in the middle, along with garlic, olive oil and whatever herbs you like. Bake it for about 30 minutes or so and then mash it all up and add it to pasta. Yum.
There’s so many things you can do. Pasta sauce, marinara sauce, bruschetta, caprese, roast them up with olive oil & salt, sandwiches (esp paninis), make fresh tomato zingy herby sauce to sauté your fries in then cook with some cheese, casserole!
Salsa, guacamole, bruschetta, with pasta garlic olive oil ( and shellfish), soggy tomato sandwiches are yum, in a salad, marinated in olive oil, kalamata olives, garlic, lemon juice and rhind and then poured over hot roasted chicken...YUMMO!!!
You should absolutely make turkish Menemen with those tomatoes. It’s eaten in breakfast. ( in the original recipe theres no cheese but i surely recommend you to add a lot of cheese that melts after adding the eggs) (also for the spices: thyme, black pepper and basil are essential! ) hope you like it 👐🏻
Make bruschetta!! We get small mozzarella balls and quarter them and mix that with fresh basil and salt and pepper. Cut and saute tomatoes in a pan until they are almost soft. Mix with the mozzarella and basil and spoon onto toasty bread. We use the $1 loaves of French bread from Walmart 😆 Then pop into the oven on a lowish heat until the cheese gets just a little bit melty. Maybe 6-8 minutes.
I bought a dozen tomatoes like that for $12 at a farmers market this weekend in TX. And although I felt it was expensive, I knew that the sweet old man that grew them with the most tender care deserved every penny.
You could make a tomato sauce, sun dried tomatoes, tomato soup, a fresh salsa,blts(if you eat bacon),a salad, stuff them, make katsup, or just eat them normal :)
Spaghetti sauce, jar the leftovers, you can do meatball subs the next day, tomato basil soup, cut some for salads/sandwiches, salsa, season some on top of Italian bread for a bruschetta appetizer, top a pizza with the tomatoes & fresh mozzarella, any stews/soups you enjoy they will be perfecto! 😋
I live in Cornwall. I always buy my produce from local farmers markets. With so many Farms around the price is really competitive. I recommend looking online for the biggest farmers markets near u & Not sure but u may be able to go to a Christmas Markets, there usually in the city centres somewhere. Definitely Worth a Visit 💯
If you have freezer space, you can oven roast them with onion, garlic, and herbs, and freeze. Save space by freezing in zip lock bags flattened and stacked.
Oooo... roast them!! cut halves, cut side up on a parchment lined cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, and add a bit of chopped garlic, if you want, then into a 450 F oven for 20 min, or until blistered and t roasty... Yum!
Tomato & chili jam, roasted tomato 🍅 soup, with 🍅. For the fruit, mixed berry compote or jam or a fruit crumble with a toasted oat and coconut 🥥 deconstructed crumble. That's what I would do. Happy cooking x
My grandparents lived through the great depression, a tomato from the garden with a pinch of salt was a beloved dessert to them. Anything they didnt eat fresh would get canned for future use. Boil the tomatoes for 60 seconds then ice bath them, peel the skin and fill the jars and add a squeeze of lemon juice to help prevent spoilage. You can add onions, garlic, chillies or peppers, spices, herbs to the jar and label and date it. They can last 18 months if kept properly and will merry the flavors in the jar. Then you have a base to work with and leave room for choices later on how to use them...👍
1)Buy cucumber, onions, feta cheese, a lemon, and kalamata olives. Greek salad! Or, 2) Make fresh salsa! Buy onion of your choice and dice together. Squeeze in either lemon or lime juice. Optional add ins: hot chili pepper, garlic, avocado, and corn. Or, 3) buy some pasta and make baked feta and fresh tomato pasta. Or, 4) rub a garlic clove on toast, slice up tomatoes and basil and layer on the toast and sprinkle it all with vinegar and an oil of your choice. (I don't like olive oil - I either butter the bread first or use avocado oil.) Yummy!
You can roast those tomatoes, add garlic, olive oil and salt and make homemade pasta sauce you can store. Add onions and basil and you have marinara for pizza, chicken parm etc. 😊
Pizza sauce which you can freeze if you want, tomato soup, pico de gallo, spaghetti sauce, make a big salad with extra tomatoes. Try home made ketchup. Tacos. Good luck! What a great deal. Im sure youve probably used them by now
Try this salsa. 6 small tomatoes, 3 jalapeño, 2 cloves of garlic. Boil tomatoes and chili till soft then drain and blend with the garlic and salt to taste. Use it on tacos or to simmer meat or veggies in
Try this recipe with your tomatoes Add finely chopped basil and garlic to a bowl with a good amount of parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil ( the texture should like be wet sand ). Then cut off the top of the tomatoes, creating a divot. Then put the basil and garlic mixture where you carved the divot. Put the tomatoes on a baking sheet pan with a sprinkling of more parmesan on top. Bake at 200 f for four hours or until soft Enjoy! ( trust me they are delicious)
Roast them and turn them into sauce🤤 I love to just have sauce on hand for dipping or adding into other sauces, like curry, for a rich flavor or just plain ole spaghett
This is where my aunt lives and everytime my mom visits, she buys soooooo much produce! But the good part is apart from being thus cheap, the quality is brilliant!
I love those type of tomatoes! Me and my daughter eat them as is or you can bake some feta with those tomatoes and toss with pasta and kalamata olives...so good.
Tomato and English cucumber salad! Halve the tomatoes, slice some English cucumber, halve and slice some red/purple onion, and toss in your favorite vinaigrette style dressing (I prefer zesty Italian) and let it marinade for 30-60 minutes before eating!
Tomato sauce ofc! Skin them by blanching and then simmer them for a few hours with garlic, onion, basil, a few bay leaves because that’s how Nonna does it , enough black pepper to kill a small child, and fatty/boney cuts of pork. You know it’s done when the meat starts to break down and you get threads of it in the sauce, usually around the 6hr mark! The rendered pork fat makes the tomato sauce super rich, glossy, and delicious 😍 Not ~Italian~ Italian, but that’s how Italian Americans do it these days!
THOSE TOMATOES LOOK SOOOOO GOOD! I'm drooling.And even more so because it is December in the northeastern part of the US. I would quarter them,take some(Ok LOTS!)of garlic, onions, cucumbers and maybe radishes, slice them up & put them in a big container with a little olive oil and lots of rice wine vinegar.Yummm.or make salsa! Or Pico de gallo.or stew them! Make marinara! Or the absolute BEST thing to do with beautiful tomatoes is to slice them and make a tomato sandwich!
if you guys are in bath you really need to try sally lunn’s buns!! i ate those when i visited bath for a day trip and it was probably one of the best things i’ve ever eaten
Definately Vegetables not only cheaper than a latte but much better value and healthier too. Just think what you can make what all of those. Beautiful.
Can those tomatoes girlfriend! Then you'll have fresh tasting tomatoes for future recipes. Or, you can slice them and dehydrate them completely, then store in oil (sun dried tomatoes) or just dry in airtight bags in cupboard. Also, blueberries freeze very nicely. Freeze them on trimmed trays and transfer to freezer bags for storage. Your so lucky!
In Canada (where I live), inflation is so high rn, that many tomatoes would be over $40. Maybe even over $60. And people wonder why so many workers are complaining about low wages. Who can even afford to eat and do anything else rn.
A small stand doesn’t mean it’s local though. Many of them import products like every supermarket does, so always check where it’s from, it’s very likely that fresh fruit isn’t local in any other season than summer.
You cam make soups, sauces, salads, or dishes that require diced/canned tomatoes, pastas or omelets with tomatoes and basil and more, pizza toppers, sundry them, or tomato juice
I would dehydrate the tomatoes there perfect size for sun dried but I lived in the U.K for almost 6 years so I know you don't get enough sun. I used to dehydrate them when I lived there. Just a idea or pasta sauce and freeze until you need more. Hope you enjoyed the U.K. Have you tried Branston pickle on sharp cheddar cheese? I ate that and Indian take away during my pregnancy. Cheers
With all those tomatoes, I would make a lovely roasted tomato soup, marinara sauce, lots of tomato omelettes, and I love to just slice a few tomatoes with salt and pepper for the side of literally any meal that I eat! I’m tomato crazy, so I am jealous of your haul! 😍
Try fermented tomatoes! They're amazing. You put them in a jar with salt water and garlic and after some days or weeks they're sour and delicious for a soup or a snack
You can make shakshuka or a Matbucha- it's a type of hot spicy tomato sauce from the Mediterranean this you can eat hot or cold in spread on bread or even eat pasta with it (it's not the "traditional" things to do but I like doing that)
Why is the produce so cheap here?! 🍅
you should go at the end of the day around 2.30 before the market closes, the produce they have left can be even cheaper!
Farmers in that area are very competitive with selling their produce, when it comes to being near Supermarkets especially. In the UK you'll notice everything is on a smaller scale, so there's an importent choice in where to shop, and you guys hit the jackpot, Great Job!👍

UK is smaller as well so generally less transportation costs
I think the USA is probably just more expensive, i’m from the UK and this is the average price for this
Berries cost a lot in the US (where I live). It sucks because that means I don’t get to have them very often and sometimes they’re not very fresh.
It might also be how locally grown and how many there are. Gotta get rid of the overstock, ya know?
It helps too that the UK is smaller than the US. Shipping food from the UK to Ireland is a shorter distance than shipping oranges from Florida to upper NYS. Getting food from other countries in the UK is a shorter trip.
I live near the Tennessee/Kentucky boarder and get stuff that cheap all the time from Amish/Mennonite farmers or just local farmers! A lot of the cost is transportation so the closer you are the better the deal. The UK is tiny in comparison so even driving from one end to the other is a smaller fee.
Im from London and I’ve never seen prices this cheap for so much produce!
This is why we love Europe so much! The more we travel, the more we realize that everywhere isn’t cheap, the US and Canada are just expensive
Europe isn't cheap in general. In Denmark where I live you pay a small fortune for fresh produce. 2£ would only get you 5-7 tomatoes of that size
For me, I have a local upick in the summer in southern US and it cost me $11 USD for a 5 gal bucket (18.9 L) full of fresh produce I picked. Now I have to pick it myself in the hot sun, but i am allowed up to 10 buckets a day if I want.

If I have a lot of tomatoes, I love making a simple bruschetta with basil and balsamic (and maybe some garlic)
I love making bruschetta too!! it's soooo tasty! 😋
Sound so good

I think you should watch “How I cooked 20 pounds of tomatoes”. It has a variety of different ways to cook tomatoes and they’re all delicious!

Try America. Dear gods it’s insane.
@@JarvisChrist netherlands and Norway (specially the latter) ARE very expensive places though ! And I agree with the answer below, Spain, Portugal and Italy are also great places to purchase this.

toss in some isot/urfa biber mixed in some lemon juice 😏 if one is without harissa
Menemen

You can also make small holes in this sauce, put an egg into them, cover and this way will be also rich in proteins, and so delicious shakshuka
You could make tomato jam! Or tomato soup ~ roasting your tomatoes, onion, and garlic in the oven gives the soup really good flavor
Such a great deal !!! I would love that.
Homeade pasta sauce, breakfast toast/scramble, cucumber salad, caprese salad, tomato soup, or a simple snack with salt and pepper

I'm pretty sure it's because the farms are so close there is no big transport cost, and we brits take a lot of pride in farming its very competitive

Make tomato SOUP I’m from Scotland and whenever we get a lot of tomato’s before they go off I use them to make soup and it’s SO GOOD!🍅
it so cute seeing Jeanelle explore bath and that stand is very handy for a healthy snack 10/10

I’m happy to give her recipe :)
Home made tomato basil pasta sauce!!!!!!
Yum Yum!!!!
Store them in mason jars.
BLT stuffed tomatoes. My mom makes them for the holidays and they're BUSSINNN
Fresh homemade tomatoes juice is AMAZING. Gently smash can cook down your tomatoes with herbs, salt, and pepper add water if needed and strain. Pop jars in the freezer and enjoy all year round!

Tomatoes will be amazing with fresh mushrooms and toast! I live in the UK! My mum makes it for me all the time! Or you could put them in an omlettte
I live in Cornwall. I always buy my produce from local farmers markets. With so many Farms around the price is really competitive.
I recommend looking online for the biggest farmers markets near u & Not sure but u may be able to go to a Christmas Markets, there usually in the city centres somewhere.
Definitely Worth a Visit 💯
If you have freezer space, you can oven roast them with onion, garlic, and herbs, and freeze. Save space by freezing in zip lock bags flattened and stacked.
Oooo... roast them!! cut halves, cut side up on a parchment lined cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, and add a bit of chopped garlic, if you want, then into a 450 F oven for 20 min, or until blistered and t
roasty... Yum!
Tomato & chili jam, roasted tomato 🍅 soup, with 🍅. For the fruit, mixed berry compote or jam or a fruit crumble with a toasted oat and coconut 🥥 deconstructed crumble. That's what I would do. Happy cooking x
My grandparents lived through the great depression, a tomato from the garden with a pinch of salt was a beloved dessert to them. Anything they didnt eat fresh would get canned for future use. Boil the tomatoes for 60 seconds then ice bath them, peel the skin and fill the jars and add a squeeze of lemon juice to help prevent spoilage. You can add onions, garlic, chillies or peppers, spices, herbs to the jar and label and date it. They can last 18 months if kept properly and will merry the flavors in the jar. Then you have a base to work with and leave room for choices later on how to use them...👍
1)Buy cucumber, onions, feta cheese, a lemon, and kalamata olives. Greek salad!
Or, 2) Make fresh salsa! Buy onion of your choice and dice together. Squeeze in either lemon or lime juice. Optional add ins: hot chili pepper, garlic, avocado, and corn.
Or, 3) buy some pasta and make baked feta and fresh tomato pasta.
Or, 4) rub a garlic clove on toast, slice up tomatoes and basil and layer on the toast and sprinkle it all with vinegar and an oil of your choice. (I don't like olive oil - I either butter the bread first or use avocado oil.) Yummy!
You can roast those tomatoes, add garlic, olive oil and salt and make homemade pasta sauce you can store. Add onions and basil and you have marinara for pizza, chicken parm etc. 😊
Pizza sauce which you can freeze if you want, tomato soup, pico de gallo, spaghetti sauce, make a big salad with extra tomatoes. Try home made ketchup. Tacos. Good luck! What a great deal. Im sure youve probably used them by now
The high street fruit and veg stands are pretty awesome.
Try this salsa. 6 small tomatoes, 3 jalapeño, 2 cloves of garlic. Boil tomatoes and chili till soft then drain and blend with the garlic and salt to taste. Use it on tacos or to simmer meat or veggies in
Try this recipe with your tomatoes
Add finely chopped basil and garlic to a bowl with a good amount of parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil ( the texture should like be wet sand ). Then cut off the top of the tomatoes, creating a divot. Then put the basil and garlic mixture where you carved the divot. Put the tomatoes on a baking sheet pan with a sprinkling of more parmesan on top. Bake at 200 f for four hours or until soft
Enjoy!
( trust me they are delicious)
Roast the tomatoes with oil and garlic 🧄 on a low-Med low oven temp. Basically homemade sun dried tomatoes. Keep in a jar and use as condiment.
Roast them and turn them into sauce🤤 I love to just have sauce on hand for dipping or adding into other sauces, like curry, for a rich flavor or just plain ole spaghett
This is where my aunt lives and everytime my mom visits, she buys soooooo much produce! But the good part is apart from being thus cheap, the quality is brilliant!
I love those type of tomatoes! Me and my daughter eat them as is or you can bake some feta with those tomatoes and toss with pasta and kalamata olives...so good.
Tomato salad, caprese, bruschetta, seared for breakfast, korean sugar tomatoes, marinara…I love tomatoes
You could definitely make tomato sauce with the tomatoes you aren't eating, if you have glass jars 😋
Tomato and English cucumber salad!
Halve the tomatoes, slice some English cucumber, halve and slice some red/purple onion, and toss in your favorite vinaigrette style dressing (I prefer zesty Italian) and let it marinade for 30-60 minutes before eating!
Tomato sauce ofc! Skin them by blanching and then simmer them for a few hours with garlic, onion, basil, a few bay leaves because that’s how Nonna does it , enough black pepper to kill a small child, and fatty/boney cuts of pork. You know it’s done when the meat starts to break down and you get threads of it in the sauce, usually around the 6hr mark! The rendered pork fat makes the tomato sauce super rich, glossy, and delicious 😍
Not ~Italian~ Italian, but that’s how Italian Americans do it these days!
THOSE TOMATOES LOOK SOOOOO GOOD! I'm drooling.And even more so because it is December in the northeastern part of the US.
I would quarter them,take some(Ok LOTS!)of garlic, onions, cucumbers and maybe radishes, slice them up & put them in a big container with a little olive oil and lots of rice wine vinegar.Yummm.or make salsa! Or Pico de gallo.or stew them! Make marinara!
Or the absolute BEST thing to do with beautiful tomatoes is to slice them and make a tomato sandwich!
if you guys are in bath you really need to try sally lunn’s buns!! i ate those when i visited bath for a day trip and it was probably one of the best things i’ve ever eaten
Oven dried tomatoes are very good. You can put them in multiple recipes. They store better. Sometimes I eat them as snacks.
You can never go wrong making tomato bisque with grilled cheese. 😋
Definately Vegetables not only cheaper than a latte but much better value and healthier too. Just think what you can make what all of those. Beautiful.
Can those tomatoes girlfriend! Then you'll have fresh tasting tomatoes for future recipes. Or, you can slice them and dehydrate them completely, then store in oil (sun dried tomatoes) or just dry in airtight bags in cupboard. Also, blueberries freeze very nicely. Freeze them on trimmed trays and transfer to freezer bags for storage. Your so lucky!
In Canada (where I live), inflation is so high rn, that many tomatoes would be over $40. Maybe even over $60. And people wonder why so many workers are complaining about low wages. Who can even afford to eat and do anything else rn.
Butter chicken, pizza, chili, soup, stir fry, tomatoes are amazing in almost all foods 😋😍
A small stand doesn’t mean it’s local though. Many of them import products like every supermarket does, so always check where it’s from, it’s very likely that fresh fruit isn’t local in any other season than summer.
You cam make soups, sauces, salads, or dishes that require diced/canned tomatoes, pastas or omelets with tomatoes and basil and more, pizza toppers, sundry them, or tomato juice
Puff pasty, chopped tomatoes and herb cream cheese cooked is one of the best tomato meals.
You can make a good and heart tomato based soup with them if you have a Dutch oven or a nice iron pot.
You can blend the tomatoes and freeze them for soup. You can make salsa too
your videos are literally my favorite 😩
Bruschetta, caprese salad, any red sauce pasta dish, stuffed tomatoes, tomato soup, pico de gallo, tomato and egg with rice. Lots of tomato dishes!
I love your Dooney & Bourke purse 👜 😻😻😻 I seen that beauty a mile away!! 🥰
Classic tomatoe soup with grilled cheese. Then make raspberry jam and have with brea and bread.
I would dehydrate the tomatoes there perfect size for sun dried but I lived in the U.K for almost 6 years so I know you don't get enough sun. I used to dehydrate them when I lived there. Just a idea or pasta sauce and freeze until you need more. Hope you enjoyed the U.K. Have you tried Branston pickle on sharp cheddar cheese? I ate that and Indian take away during my pregnancy. Cheers
Roasted tomato soup, the fairly local family recipe is my favorite
Eggs in purgatory is a good dish. You can make the tomatoes into a sauce and roast a few for garnish
A super quick fresh tomato pasta sauce with some spaghetti noodles would be tasty. Simple ingredients and quick.
With all those tomatoes, I would make a lovely roasted tomato soup, marinara sauce, lots of tomato omelettes, and I love to just slice a few tomatoes with salt and pepper for the side of literally any meal that I eat! I’m tomato crazy, so I am jealous of your haul! 😍
The tomatoes - Slice, add sliced cucumber, salt, pepper and sour cream. The simplest, most refreshing salad ever
U can make ur own salsa, tomato sauce for pasta, or you can can em if you have access to jars and lids.
That is just crazy. I am British and even I haven't seen anything like this before Jeanelle.
Congee with tomatoes is wonderful.
Try fermented tomatoes! They're amazing. You put them in a jar with salt water and garlic and after some days or weeks they're sour and delicious for a soup or a snack
Tomatoes and eggs, marinara, grilled tomatoes with onions, tomato and cucumber salad, grilled tomato and cheese sammies, and so much more.
You can make shakshuka or a Matbucha- it's a type of hot spicy tomato sauce from the Mediterranean this you can eat hot or cold in spread on bread or even eat pasta with it (it's not the "traditional" things to do but I like doing that)
Grilled tomatoes garlic and salt & pepper to taste. Sprinkle a bit of your favorite cheese! Yummy
Make chili with the tomatos. Cut up the tomatoes to make BLT squirters ( blt with an over easy egg in it, hence, squirter)
For the tomatoes you could maybe make some fresh salads or cut them into halves and sear them to eat with some type of carb like bread or pasta
