Are these still a thing after boycott?

We don’t get them anymore.

Woolworths caved to the pressure and removed them.

Really? I can see it online though. Maybe they moved it out of stores due to vandalism ?

For a snort time they were there with packaging saying Israeli tomato’s and “product of south africa” I’m guessing someone tried farming them here.
But since it was a political and religious meddling simply having the term “Israeli” seemed to be a problem too. And then they just vanished from shelves to be replaced by the plain, sorry, tasteless “salad tomatoes”

Interesting. Believe my I’ve checked multiple Woolies over the years every time I go. Maybe I should try online

If you drive past Citrusdal, there are hundreds of hectares of citrus trees. These have been producing oranges and other citrus for many years

I would definitely not call it "shyte".

I think he is refering more to the type of fruit. Those things are more bitter than @rvZA

Say what? we grow that shyte here? ??

I don't think taste will be tolerated in SA. I recall it being even worse than grapefruit. They probably sell it as exotic in French market.

Fatima aunty probably spikes Israeli tomatoes with some substance. And that will explain a lot of your posts.

Should all be banned like spanspek, avocados, popo's and all that other rubbish

Yeah I know, I just find it amusing that we grow that sort of thing here and we've never really seen them (even the B grade variants).

We are normal people... that is all we need to be judgey mofos.

Not only tomatoes, but virtually everything. Farming is dead in SA. They killed a whole industry.

More a case of much of what is grown here gets exported to countries that are willing to pay premium for premium products.
Also the reason why SA is a dumping ground.

Not a fan of sapnspek & popo's either but give avo's from checkers a try. I like avos with beans burrito. With salt & pepper, good fatty food for vegetarians.

Woolies has the worse possible avo's in terms of taste.

All avo's are tasteless. I always scrape that guacamole schit off if I forget to tell them not to put it on
