To quote Kenji Lopez Alt - "A BLT is a tomato sandwich, seasoned with bacon." It is a simple concept, but it was the small twist in thinking that helped me shift to eating more vegetables.

Side note: I made friends with several people mastering in horticulture at the University of Florida, and they were all working towards breeding flavor back into tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, etc. Decades of research have focused on frost resistance, pest resistance, hardiness, and increased yield, all at the expense of flavor. We are starting to see bespoke flavorful produce at the store, but if the fruits my friends brought home from the experimental fields are any indication, we are ~10 years away from a total shift away from bland produce.
One thing that surprised me was the fact that their research is funded in part by selling the best experimental fruits to Japan to be used as gifts. I'll never forget being at margarita night and learning that I just blended $100 dollars of blueberries. And yes, they were the best blueberries that both the experts and I have ever had.
