I'm not going to convince my mother that raw tomatoes taste lousy, and I've
never liked them.  I've gotten to the point where I can swallow tomato in a
salad, but only if I'm being polite.

Definitely one for the weird food category, unless the blackberries have
more flavor than the ones that grew wild around here.  Those things were
tasteless seed pods, even fully ripe.

->       2 tb Finely chopped thyme
