    A party I gamed with for about a year and a half had a druid who flavored goodberry as magical tomatoes and would offer them to people as a greeting/icebreaker, consolation, celebration, or just if they weren’t sure what else to do or say. I’m now hearing “Tomato?” in the squeaky little voice the player used.

      …why a tomato? They’re kind of squishy, I would worry about someone absent-mindedly sticking one in a pocket and having a very squelchy surprise later.

        Honestly I’m not sure. Presumably because the player found it amusing, which is why she did a lot of things. Like playing a pink axolotl shifter druid that makes squeak toy noises when hit and refers to the swarm of velociraptors they summon as “my kids” (the rest of us called them “the dinosaur machine gun” because of all the attack rolls at once as they devoured enemies from the ankles up).

          I can’t argue with that reasoning, lol. I would have taken the earliest possible opportunity to have a character sit on a magical tomato, for exactly that reason.
