Good Manners: Taking the center slice for thineself 2012-06-01 - EK Fortunen Street Kitchen - Photo by Ed Waggener. I'm almost sure it's Bible, that somewhere in Hezekiah it says, "And thou shalt take the thick center slice of the the tomato, first, for thineself." Maybe not. Maybe not. Whatever, despite all scoldings I get, it is just good sense, not bad manners. When the thick center slice is taken, it leaves a neat -easy to store in the Frigidaire icebox, in a sanitary form - remainder which doesn't even need Reynolds or Saran Wrap for protection. left photo. Then, if it's not eaten, the best part doesn't have to be thrown away. I spent a big part of my youth eating overripe peaches with brown spots on them so they wouldn't spoil and never getting to the perfect peaches - appetite never caught up with spoilage; the last peach in the basket had brown spots by the time we got to it - a warning never to eat the heel of the tomato first, and let the best part spoil, to ever go contrary to that verse in Hezekiah I think I remember. I think it's just good manners. And no, I was never called to preach. Thank you. - EW. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
