My long-suffering (and rather new at the time) husband almost lost interest in my tomato crop after picking 2000 of them. He still looks nervous whenever I reach for a packet of tomato seeds.

Perhaps you just need to rebrand them - you might learn to love them (perhaps not). You have just triggered a childhood memory of homemade green tomato chutney in the pantry. I can't remember eating any - just seeing it on the shelf.
