Back in Việt Nam I could pick the ripe ones in the market, but since I moved to South Korea, they are hard as rocks. I often have to buy tomatoes a week or two in advance and wonder about your situation. Some are too green and refuse to ripen even after a month.
Cherry tomatoes are still good, though not suitable for finer sauces that require peeling.
Understandable, although I doubt they half rotten (I mean a few do but it’s a price I’m willing to pay) since I often slice them for breakfast’s sandwich. I wait til’ they’re a bit bouncy, otherwise they’re tasteless rubber like @RoadkillUgly@lemmy.world described.
