Don’t taste them raw and judge. That’s like eating flour and calling bread gross. Crushed tomatoes straight from the can taste sharp and metallic. Cook them first. Let them mellow.
Tomato sauce raw? It’s sweeter, more savory. But it can be cloying if you’re not careful. Trust me, I once ate a spoonful for science. Regret follows.
Funny truth: People often buy the wrong can for Bloody Marys. Crushed tomatoes make a glorious mess of your drink. Tomato sauce gives you a smooth, creepy-red cocktail. Choose wisely.
