    I think the first question is, why do you want to like tomatoes? Is it to enjoy dishes other people say are good, to reduce food aversion problems, or for health reasons?

    Is it the sight, the texture, the taste, the smell?

    If it’s sight, covering it in a sauce will help. A lot of Indian style curries have tomatoes in them.

    If it’s texture, try different kinds of tomatoes. Some are softer and wetter snd others are firmer. Heck, you can even see if tomatillos also invoke the same distaste.

    If it’s taste or smell, try expanding what you do with them. Cooked tomatoes are different from raw tomatoes, and if you haven’t tried salting your raw tomatoes first, give it a try with a beefsteak slice. It really brings out the “meatiness” of it, which is what helps to complement other parts of the dish.
