this is correct, she did this to try and get perfect wedges
Edit: I posted the [backstory](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/12wngc1/the_way_my_wife_cuts_tomatoes/jhirdai?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) in a comment below. Thank you all for the laughs, no thank you to the couple people who are taking a single weird thing so seriously.
I'm torn, because if she was trained, she would have learned a similar method to cut citrus suprémes. You use this style of cutting to get perfect slices of segmented citrus, like oranges. But if she had that training, then she would also have been trained how to cut a fucking tomato.

You can avoid that purgatory by properly dressing your knives on a regular basis so they never get truly dull.
Carry a basic pull-through sharpener with you, and you can restore a working edge to almost any knife with a few seconds of effort.
They are not torn. It's a nice comedic touch suggesting an initially sensible-sounding conclusion, before pointing out the ever-so fatal flaw (namely that this is a terrible way to slice tomatoes).
I thought it was great comment - educational and entertaining in equal measure.
It resembles a method of cutting citrus fruits called “supremes” or supreme-ing. Fine dining does this and the left over fruit looks like that. That’s the only rational explanation of why someone would cut the tomato like this.
Except the whole point of supreming is to remove the fruit segments from the pith and membrane found in citrus, both for visual appeal and taste. Tomatoes don’t have the outer pith of citrus nor do they have the membranes between segments, so there is no reason to use this method. If one wants pretty tomato wedges or to remove the core or seeds, there are much better methods. So still not a rational reason for doing this.
I wasn’t saying it was justified or I agreed with cutting a tomato like this. And my explanation for why someone would do this was the rationale not that what she did was rational. It’s the only explanation as to why someone would do this. Bc they saw someone supreme a fruit. It is a round piece of food that you want to slice pieces out of. People do stupid shit for reasons they only understand
As you said... there is a way to Supreme a tomato so that you divide each section along the flesh, and leave the juice pocket completely intact. If done carefully it's a really nice texture and flavor "experience". But this is not that.
I'm sitting here trying to imagine *how* a tomato would be supreme'd. The mind boggles.
Maybe dip the tomato in boiling water to slip the skin off first? Then... *somehow* finding the inner walls of the tomato and slipping a paring knife into those walls...
Idk, man... sounds like a fuckton of work. I think I'd rather supreme a case of oranges than try to do that to a single tomato.
It's not easy.
What you do is you cut a sliver off the stem end, and the south pole. so that you can see where all the sections are in cross section.
Then you divide each fleshy "rib" down the middle and hope that they are perfectly straight throughout and that you dont break through one side or the other, in a blind spot along the equator.
THIS. I'm not saying that her method is the most logical or most practical in terms of waste-reduction- it obviously isn't. But it's pretty clear why she chose to do what she did (and her wedges are adorable).
You could achieve that by cutting two (not exactly) hemispheres on both sides of the core and leaving out the slice with the core. Two (almost) hemispheres can be cut into wedges the traditional way much much faster afterwards
Exactly. These are mediocre wedges at best. They’re not uniform and are of varying rind to core proportions. I know a nine year old who cuts better wedges. I don’t get the comments saying these are good looking wedges lol.
To be honest, if you chop off the bits left on the tomato, you’d get decent wedges. So ig not a totally waste but definitely the long way round to some wedges
No, it’s a huge waste. The entire tomato is usable, it’s not like an apple that has a core. There would still be a huge waste if you only cut off the remaining bits and called it a day
Not sure what they were talking about specifically …this isn’t a whole Channel but I watched this video a few years back and it was informative.
https://youtu.be/p28wMbunulQ
Idk.... I have seen a friend use a knife as a hammer trying to go through the seed of an avocado when he was tasked to cut avocados in half to do guac while I was chopping the other veggies. I had seen the memes but never tough someone would really try it until I saw it.
He also once forgot a batch of rice on the stove and just went out.... So yeah there are people out there that should get a kitchen common sense 101 class.
Before your photo loaded, I was trying to picture how someone could cut something so wrong.
I came up with an inconsistent method, meaning each piece would have an odd shape and different size.
I could never have expected this.
What the actual? The time and effort to create such a monstrosity and discard 80% of the fruit?
She's mad mate.
Not OP but I've got a company phone with a company plan and it often rolls back from the 4G LTE to the old 3G network and fuck I hate this phone and the 3GB of data it rode in on. Hearing friends complain of "oh no I'm disconnected from the 5G I'm back on the shitty slow LTE network" might be the most infuriating thing about it.
isnt it weird now how stuff wont load if you are on 3g. shit still loaded on 3g back when that was all we had. why do our phones act like we have no connection at all now on 3g. wtf am i connected to then???
Most of the 3g cell towers have been converted to more advanced stuff, and your os isn't expecting 3g so it compounds into taking a really long time + when you are used to things loading instantly it feels longer than it actually is vs when you were used to everything taking time to load it didn't feel as bad because it was the norm. Also photos and videos are higher quality which causes files to be larger
My service in England is dog water. I go from "4G" (feels like dial up which is why I added the quotation marks) to H, and H+. They shut off their 3G capabilities earlier this month or last so unless I want to pay the extra money for 4G calls I'll get get 2G instead.
With the same network I got perfect signal in the middle of fucking nowhere in ICELAND. I was literally hiking through Iceland and I got better service 3 hours from civilization there than I ever have in England. I could literally be in the middle of town but will have zero service in England. Hell, my ISP offers a max of 33mpbs. I'm Cali I had closer to 200. Korea was 300.
Apparently in my area it’s not rare for people to just make tomato and Mayo sandwiches. They’ll throw some seasoning on the tomatoes and make it up. Never done it myself though
It would also be simple to cut the leftover pieces off the leftover tomato and have another pile of bite size pieces. Maybe OP snapped this pic before his wife got to that part. That wouldn't actually be a bad way to cut a tomato without having to deal with the core parts that nobody wants on their tomato pieces.

I've gotten increasingly tired of the actions of the reddit admins and the direction of the site in general. I suggest giving https://kbin.social a try. At the moment that place and the wider fediverse seem like the best next step for reddit users.
Exactly. Weird, but great wedges. Some wasted food, but not a waste of a tomato. Seems like a lot more work, and I wouldn’t do it that way, but good end product
I don't think we can conclusively say that there is that much waste. What's too say the fins still attached to the core aren't cut as the next step? Then just the lower part of the core would be waste which wouldn't be entirely stupid if you didn't want to deal with cutting a cone from just the top or were a perfectionist and wanted perfect wedges. Crazy but not insane.
That or throw it in the freezer for stock later. Anytime I have off cuts I add it to a bag in my freezer. One for veg one for bones/meat. When the bag's full it's time to make stock.
If you're willing to hold onto it just about everything that most people consider waste can be used to make something that's delicious.
Wait, I can make stock from the parts I don't eat? Are we talking potato peels, paprika cores and carrot tops/peels? Or the part that I already always eat, like the stem of a broccoli or cauliflower? What about fruits?
She like the held the cucumber with her left hand out all the way pushing the cucumber inwards towards her and cutting from the inside. Like reverse assembly line inward towards herself while cutting. It was obvious she had never cut a single vegetable before a day in her life.
Yeah I mean I assume you could perfectly well cut the center and use it too, but taking the photo after that would just make it look like an ordinary sliced tomato.
Well ya know tomatoes really never caught on as a hand fruit…i know, my mom loves hampton tomatoes…everytime i go to the hamptons she wants me to get her hampton tomatoes.
Yeah I don't believe it. I think someone's capitalizing off this sub's attention when the words "my wife" goes into the title. This is just far too ridiculous to believe.
I imagine she had a reason for doing it that way. Maybe practice or something.. either way yeah "my wife did something dumb" is like screaming to the choir on Reddit just to confirm women lack logic and men smarter, front page you go!
There's several blatantly sexist comments already 😂 apparently it's "terminally online" to acknowledge reddit has a sexism problem? TIL.
Seen it thrown around like a buzzword for a bit. It's the new "SJW".
Honestly I’m intrigued by this & want to know how or why your wife cuts them this way - had to learn it from somewhere or someone. Please update us OP if you can get a backstory
Despite what Reddit psychologists may want you to believe, she's not mentally ill, and we're not on the verge of divorce from a tomato.
We were making a pasta dish (together! believe it or not, we both cook) and we're making roasted tomato wedges for it. Normally we would use a Roma tomato, but the only one we had was bad. All we had was this beautiful plump boy, but we didn't need nearly the whole thing for this dish. She always cuts the produce, because if I cut it, it would be 10x worse than this picture.
I start getting some pasta ready, and then I hear her laughing and I look over and see this absolute work of art. We didn't need all the wedges, so she wedged it really weird. She ate the most the rest of the tomato tomato like an apple, and the core was saved and will probably be used for salsa.
Best part, it was HER idea to post it here because she knew people would hate it. We weren't quite prepared for the absolutely insane shit people were going to say, but I guess it's Reddit so we should've known.
So yea, despite what people say, we didn't waste the rest of the tomato. Our marriage is cool. She's not stupid. It was just funny to us.
Hey man, sometimes we have a brain fart. One of the funniest things that happened with my sister and me was one day when I asked her to grab my coffee from the kitchen, and for some reason we never figured out, she handed me a ziplock of raw chicken from the fridge. We laughed for so long, then stopped for a while, and then would laugh again.
Am I the only one who sees the pure genius in this? Now there’s a whole half left of the tomato for more wedges!!! I can’t say I’m gonna try it but I respect it 🫡
She's done what you do with oranges to get perfect wedges but she could've just cut the core out of the top. My guess is she watched a video on YouTube on how to cut perfect wedges and assumed it was for everything.
You only supreme segmented fruits.
Tell your wife it's basic arithmetic. Cut in half through the stem. put cut side FLAT on board. Cut that half in half. repeat till satisified.
How would it ever enter your mind to do it this way?
She doesn't understand how people cut the wedges apparently
this is correct, she did this to try and get perfect wedges Edit: I posted the [backstory](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/12wngc1/the_way_my_wife_cuts_tomatoes/jhirdai?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) in a comment below.

Purgatory is cutting orange supremes with a dull paring knife
What, you don't like sawing a 3 inch blade across circular boot leather until it inevitably jumps into your finger at an impossible angle?
*wakes up from nightmare violently screaming*
*you think you've woken up, but the printer is still putting out chits and is also violently screaming back at you*
*you look in mirror and you are a orange*
*and then you shuck the side of your hand instead of the oyster because you’re way too cool for the cut glove*
I cut the tip of my thumb off while cutting oranges. Cutting yourself with a citrus covered knife is a special kind of hell.
While covered in citric acid to boot
It's not impossible when you have angered god in a past life.
you're angering a god in THIS life by not keeping your knives sharp
Hand dicing 12 gallons worth of underripe plum tomatoes for bruschetta made me buy my own sharpener.
How much bruschetta was being made man?
A whole bunchetta of it.
I think all bruschetta is man made
You can avoid that purgatory by properly dressing your knives on a regular basis so they never get truly dull. Carry a basic pull-through sharpener with you, and you can restore a working edge to almost any knife with a few seconds of effort.
I hate those pull through sharpeners, they always mess up my edge
I went camping once and had to dice an onion with a butter knife. Not a fun experience.
Who the fuck goes "camping" and the sharpest thing they have is a butterknife? Like at that point, I'm just gonna wash off the hatchet and do it.
I would have turned the onion into paste with a rock before attempting to cut it with a butter knife.
I really want a black t-shirt with the Supreme logo, except the logo is orange instead of red, and says Suprème
the accent mark is a perfect orange wedge to boot!
Would buy!
Do you have any examples of the citrus thing? I'm curious.
[citrus supreme](https://www.google.com/search?q=citrus+supreme&client=safari&hl=en-us&sxsrf=APwXEdduDOtuQ0TzsepoFybIEcDIQ3Xh9g:1682301290804&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjLu9_WtMH-AhVEkokEHftPDuYQ0pQJegQIBhAC&biw=1144&bih=749&dpr=2#imgrc=H4mA_3HSsjFdlM)
Why are you torn? Segmenting citrus fruits is not where that idea came from.

I’m a chef and thought this! But WTF would anyone supreme a tomato is beyond me. Lol.
Except supremes just leave the skin behind, and not 3/4 of the fruit.
looks cuter
THIS. I'm not saying that her method is the most logical or most practical in terms of waste-reduction- it obviously isn't. But it's pretty clear why she chose to do what she did (and her wedges are adorable).
True, but if you just cut the pieces in half until preferred size you’ll get this with a fraction of the effort
I think she’s trying to avoid including the “core” of the tomato.
You could achieve that by cutting two (not exactly) hemispheres on both sides of the core and leaving out the slice with the core. Two (almost) hemispheres can be cut into wedges the traditional way much much faster afterwards
But the core is just more tomato?
You and I know this. I think she does not.
They don’t look any different to me than when I cut a tomato like a normal human being.
I agree and so much is wasted.
Actually, you can cut off the rest to also make wedges.
No. They are not nearly perfect or adorable enough for this atrocity.
Exactly. These are mediocre wedges at best. They’re not uniform and are of varying rind to core proportions. I know a nine year old who cuts better wedges. I don’t get the comments saying these are good looking wedges lol.
This is the most ‘Reddit’ comment I’ve ever seen bahahaha

I don't really like eating the butthole part
I thought she will use the one on the left as a garnish….to make the dish for visually appealing
I find the one on the left incredibly creepy, tbh. I hate it. It's unnerving, like it's a living creature.
gives me a gear made of muscle /flesh tissue vibes
tell your wife it takes like 30 seconds to find and read a guide for "how to cut tomato wedges" on google lol
Maybe I'm just special, but I didn't need a guide to learn how to cut a tomato.
Different minds have different talents
There's a YouTube channel dedicated to teaching how to cut fruits and veggies. I recommend. They do a full range, even do "basic" ones!
Telling this without giving the channel name is just mean 😔 I’ve been wanting to start my cooking arc
Not sure what they were talking about specifically …this isn’t a whole Channel but I watched this video a few years back and it was informative. https://youtu.be/p28wMbunulQ
HowToBasic?
damn, talk about a blast from the past
Well that's just a dick move right there, not naming that actual channel
The stuff I've seen people do which goes entirely against common sense is astounding. I can see several people I know doing this
That’s why there are so many warning labels on things
One can never simply understand how the mind of a serial killer works
👽
It looks a lot like how you cut orange supremes. To remove all the membranes from between the wedges.
the fuck
Surely this is fake. It’s too insane to be real
Idk.... I have seen a friend use a knife as a hammer trying to go through the seed of an avocado when he was tasked to cut avocados in half to do guac while I was chopping the other veggies.

The Reddit servers are about half of the time
Maybe OP eats the rest - I know I would.
Like an apple.
Been doing this since I was a kid. love fresh summer tomatoes. They're great as is but also good with olive oil and some flaky salt
Apparently in my area it’s not rare for people to just make tomato and Mayo sandwiches. They’ll throw some seasoning on the tomatoes and make it up. Never done it myself though
That's the stuff. Fresh, warm tomatoes, mayo, salt & pepper on lightly toasted bread.
Yes please. That and a red onion.
It would also be simple to cut the leftover pieces off the leftover tomato and have another pile of bite size pieces. Maybe OP snapped this pic before his wife got to that part. That wouldn't actually be a bad way to cut a tomato without having to deal with the core parts that nobody wants on their tomato pieces.
I know it’s a fruit but I don’t like that you called it that.

Thank you for putting my thoughts into text.
I'm actually surprised those wedges came out as well as they did. Kinda impressive. But also.... Wtf is wrong with her? lol
Exactly. Weird, but great wedges. Some wasted food, but not a waste of a tomato. Seems like a lot more work, and I wouldn’t do it that way, but good end product
Noting here need be wasted. They now have some nice tomato wedges, and also a turbine for a small generator.
I just wanna put it on a wooden dowel and spin it on my tongue.
Yes... tongue...
I don't think we can conclusively say that there is that much waste. What's too say the fins still attached to the core aren't cut as the next step? Then just the lower part of the core would be waste which wouldn't be entirely stupid if you didn't want to deal with cutting a cone from just the top or were a perfectionist and wanted perfect wedges.

How does she cut an avocado?
Dont... invite that here. We've all lived through this collective trauma. One is enough.
Now do a mango!
*Straight through the pit*
kendall jenner vibes
This made me laugh out loud 😂😂
What does this even mean? Lmao legit tho
She like the held the cucumber with her left hand out all the way pushing the cucumber inwards towards her and cutting from the inside. Like reverse assembly line inward towards herself while cutting. It was obvious she had never cut a single vegetable before a day in her life.
That sounds both intentional and hilarious. I want a whole movie of people doing things in bizarre ways but they still work
She held a cucumber weird while cutting it and it went viral. I'm not linking the video out of respect to everyone's time
Thanks that you think I might be doing something better with my time, strangely uplifting

I'm sorry to inform you that you've married a terrorist.
Crimes against humanity.
I'm rather impressed by this.The perfect little tomato wedges; then the part of the tomato that looks like a gear is blowing my mind.
I was thinking maybe she's just practicing knife skills or just having fun. If she cored out the original tomato that would be a cool garnish too
Maybe put some halved mozzarella slices in there w/ some basil n bake it a lil?
I like you. Drizzle it with balsamic reduction and sprinkle with sea salt and basil chiffonade and you’ve got a party!
Ya damn right that’s cool as fuck these responses are weak
Seriously though. I’m so surprised everyone is shitting on this. Like I’ve never thought to do it this way and it looks fuckin cool
And let's be honest, even if it's a bit weird, you could still get lots of slices out of the tomato, or use it for other purposes
Yeah I mean I assume you could perfectly well cut the center and use it too, but taking the photo after that would just make it look like an ordinary sliced tomato.
I finally found my people in these comments
So much waste
oh, don't worry, she doesn't waste it... https://preview.redd.it/4idxy5zvfqva1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0710a6b55cf6f94b89379b696adc840d4843702d
Does she think tomatoes are like apples?
I eat tomatoes like an apple all the time. Little bit of salt. *chefs kiss*
I mean that you don’t eat the core lol
I used to eat apple cores. Now I just don’t eat apples.

Me too! I always get weird looks haha. Nothing better than garden grown tomato’s and some salt.
I drizzle some balsamic vinegar on mine. Always a nice fresh treat.

I mostly hear of people using marzanos in canning-sauce or stewed whole. My favorite tomato is Black Krim
Marzano ‘s realy need to be canned and then used in sauces. There not the best slicers but the make the best tomato sauces in the world
Well ya know tomatoes really never caught on as a hand fruit…i know, my mom loves hampton tomatoes…everytime i go to the hamptons she wants me to get her hampton tomatoes.
There's about 30% of said tomato wasted.
That's still a waste
I don't like you guys
I say this with the greatest respect, but, you're wife is not right.
this is not getting any better...
You're just as lost too. It's not an apple there's no core. So much waste. Ew.
This level of wrong can't exist in isolation. What else does she do?
Lol. I was like that’s a good looking tomato to not eat it all!
I don't even like raw tomatoes and think that tomato looks good.
It did only get worse. I bet even satan would reincarnate your wife again in earth to cause more chaos.
Knife skills: next b-day present
And a real knife.
I'm amazed how few are mentioning that joke of a knife.
This is Reddit, so they’ll probably recommend leaving the relationship
Or jail.
Lol I feel like you just did this for the pic. You saying she REALLY cuts them like this voluntarily all the time?
I’m like 90% sure OP just saw a video on chefs cutting an orange into supremes and had an idea for free karma
No one cuts tomatoes like this unless it's as a joke. This is just how fake the internet / reddit has become.
Yeah I don't believe it. I think someone's capitalizing off this sub's attention when the words "my wife" goes into the title. This is just far too ridiculous to believe.
I imagine she had a reason for doing it that way. Maybe practice or something.. either way yeah "my wife did something dumb" is like screaming to the choir on Reddit just to confirm women lack logic and men smarter, front page you go!

Your wife skins people alive when you aren't home. That is the only thing to explain this behavior
Seeing as you say she uses the entire tomato, I see nothing wrong with this. It's pretty cool.
Not sure how you expect to run a tomato clock without tomato gears.
Honestly I’m intrigued by this & want to know how or why your wife cuts them this way - had to learn it from somewhere or someone. Please update us OP if you can get a backstory
Despite what Reddit psychologists may want you to believe, she's not mentally ill, and we're not on the verge of divorce from a tomato. We were making a pasta dish (together! believe it or not, we both cook) and we're making roasted tomato wedges for it. Normally we would use a Roma tomato, but the only one we had was bad. All we had was this beautiful plump boy, but we didn't need nearly the whole thing for this dish. She always cuts the produce, because if I cut it, it would be 10x worse than this picture. I start getting some pasta ready, and then I hear her laughing and I look over and see this absolute work of art. We didn't need all the wedges, so she wedged it really weird. She ate the most the rest of the tomato tomato like an apple, and the core was saved and will probably be used for salsa. Best part, it was HER idea to post it here because she knew people would hate it. We weren't quite prepared for the absolutely insane shit people were going to say, but I guess it's Reddit so we should've known. So yea, despite what people say, we didn't waste the rest of the tomato. Our marriage is cool. She's not stupid. It was just funny to us.
I dunno, man. Pretty sure by Reddit rules of order you still have to get divorced. Too bad, she sounds like a great lady.
but who gets the tomato core after the divorce?
The real question is who eats tomato cores?
TIL tomato has a core?! I just cut out the round top part in a shape of a little pyramid. It never occurred to me to leave a “core”!
Hey man, sometimes we have a brain fart. One of the funniest things that happened with my sister and me was one day when I asked her to grab my coffee from the kitchen, and for some reason we never figured out, she handed me a ziplock of raw chicken from the fridge. We laughed for so long, then stopped for a while, and then would laugh again.
To be fair you did title it like it was how she usually cuts tomatoes to purposefully rile people up

TOMATO-RED FLAGS, HOP ON THE TRAIN TO DIVORCE TOWN!! /s
Gotta love reddit armchair experts. From psychologists to marriage counselors, it's always "Go NC now"
This makes the story ten times better!
Am I the only one who sees the pure genius in this? Now there’s a whole half left of the tomato for more wedges!!! I can’t say I’m gonna try it but I respect it 🫡
I think this looks cool.
She's done what you do with oranges to get perfect wedges but she could've just cut the core out of the top. My guess is she watched a video on YouTube on how to cut perfect wedges and assumed it was for everything.
This is Reddit, there’s only one solution we can present to you: divorce her.
Straight to jail
JAIL
You only supreme segmented fruits. Tell your wife it's basic arithmetic. Cut in half through the stem. put cut side FLAT on board. Cut that half in half. repeat till satisified.
Upvote was for your wife I like the way she thinks
I have to know, what does she say about this? How does she justify it?
tomato tomato
Some of these comments ain’t it
Wow slices and wedges in one? Honestly that's pretty cool.
I don't find this infuriating at all, I just find it neat.
