must be a class thing. i have already established that in our main house tomatoes are eaten with seeds. will check later how they cook in the staff house. i hope they take out the seeds otherwise the attribute classy or classical might not apply to our household... a truly awful thought!

The rest of my post.

No it doesn't.  It creates a tomato without seeds used in most upscale cuisines. Most cultures have at least two styles of cooking.  Classical and provincial.  Seeded tomatoes are used in the classical style.  Haute cuisine  vs Cuisine bourgeoise.  It is a cooking thing. 

 

Thai cuisine is also different between farmers and the privileged folks.    A-harn Chao Wang, meaning food for people living in the palace.

 

The dishes are prepared to please the eye and the palate always, with a lot of attention to details

As convenient to eat as possible: vegetables cut into bite size so you won't have to cut them again on your plate, the prawn head removed, the long vegetables tied into a knot (therefore no cutting on your plate is required) etc. A book written by a royal chef, who cooked for princes and princesses, mentioned that the whole fish was served boneless... not fillet but someone spent time removing bones from the whole fish! 

The rule of thumb is that everything on the plate must be edible.

I just went and talked to my cook!

 

He said that if he is going to cook with tomatoes other than stir fry he hot peels them and doesn't remove the seeds. When the tomatoes are used for sandwiches, stir fry or salads, he cold peels them with a sharp knife.  The seeds are usually only removed if there is a large white core in the tomato. If they are going to be used for sandwiches he usually slices them earlier in the day and puts them in a plastic container with some sliced onions and a little wine vinegar, olive oil and Italian seasoning to improve the flavor.  He also says that he brought a couple of those nice looking big tomatoes in the market a few years ago and when he cut into them they were dry rotted. During the conversation I did have a chance to clean the bathroom mirror and he actually had the audacity to ask for a raise!

For what it's worth...surely not much...

 

...my vote...

 

NEVER remove seeds from tomatoes...no need, unless making puree. However, I do usually remove the "core" from the top 1/3 - 1/2...though not necessary and GF never does.

Some people eat the poop in shrimp.  Others like coffee beans picked out of cat poop.  It is all a matter of taste and how you were raised.  My father ate Limburger cheese and my dog loves Stilton Cheddar.  Of course my dog likes old baby diapers too.

Are you related to the POTUS?  The first word of your statement is NEVER and the eight word is UNLESS!  You can't have both!!

i asked our gardener whether he removes the seeds from tomatoes before eating and his answer was "are you feeling well Sahib?"

I asked my Indian doctor and he said, " Sahib, carefully slice the tomato in half around what would be the equator line so that one half has the stem and one half has the bottom. Then use a ¼ teaspoon, or another small spoon, and scoop the tomato seeds out and discard them. Don’t scrape too deeply into the flesh of the tomato.

• The seeds carry much of the acid content of the tomato plant, so removing them altogether is a great way to reduce the acidity and your stomach won't be bothered by excessive acidity.

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.

His wife could eat no lean.

And so between them both, you see,

They licked the platter clean.

 

I assume you married a hi so lady who only ate tomatoes with seeds removed and lived happily ever after.
