Different person chiming in. I like to start with a small bite just enough to have a hole for the juice to come out. From there I squeeze it a little and just suck out the juice. Sometimes I leave just enough to not have a completely dry tomato. I feel like the juice adds to the flavor. Nine times out of ten that’s enough to not make a mess. For the really juicy ones though there’s still plenty of juice in he second half of the tomato. So I bite just a bit, suck out some juice, then finish the bite. Like some sort of weird tomato vampire.
Normally I eat a tomato with a little salt sprinkled on each bite. After that first nibble though I pour a good amount of salt on before I suck out the juice. That way the ratio a tomato taste to salt remains yummy. I’ve also tried tajin instead of salt. Its different. Not bad mind you but I’d say more of a once in awhile combination just to change it up from the reliable tomato and salt combo.
How do you handle the fluids sprinkling during the first bite? Lets share our tomato consuming experiences and best practices.
