I always want to buy tomatoes but the only thing I use it for when I get them is to make tomato soup. What other uses are there? Would like to buy them more.

sliced in cheese and tomato sandwiches, cut in half and fried with steak or with a full English breakfast.
Make your own pasta sauce, or base sauce for pizza.

Salads, sliced on a sandwich, fried, the possibilities are endless. Even more so with tinned tomatoes.

I used to have this for lunch at weekends.......

Dice a couple of tomatoes and put in a bowl with a handful of olives. Add some ripped up slices of salami (the German peppered one or the Italian Milano type).......mix up, drizzle with olive oil, add salt & pepper........serve with fresh crusty white bread

Save a bit of bread for dipping in the juices......

i like getting some sweet cherry tomatoes, mix them with red onion and then some hot/sweet chili sauce and use as a side dish with chicken or fish

Chop them up and use them in scrambled egg or omelettes.

They can be stuffed and you could make salsa dips.

Weirdest food question ever.
Uses for tomatoes:

Sliced on a plate and drizzled with french dressing as a side dish
Chopped and added to any savoury dish
Cooked with onions, garlic and seasoning then blended to make pasta sauce
Sliced and added to any meat sandwich
Quartered and added to any salad
Sliced and added to any Greek salad
Chopped and added to any soup
Eaten on their own as a lovely thing
Arranged in a bowl to make a nice table arrangement
Added to any savoury dish as a garnish
Sliced and added to pizza
Sliced and put on top of cheese on toast and grilled

Garlic
Red onion
Selection of tomatoes
Tomato puree
Dash of water
Herbs
Seasoning
Tiny bit of chilli flakes
