Should you add sugar to scrambled eggs with tomatoes?

Should you add sugar to scrambled eggs with tomatoes? This is a question that many people are confused about. Anyway, I don’t add sugar when I make scrambled eggs with tomatoes because I don’t like sweet food.

The origin of this discussion is that a netizen complained that her boyfriend's family put sugar in the tomato scrambled eggs. "Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have put sugar in it." It really "destroys people's worldviews"! This statement immediately caused widespread debate and ranked third on the Weibo hot topic list. Some netizens echoed her, while others said: "Sugar has always been added to tomato scrambled eggs, it must be added!"

There is a saying in China that "the south is sweet and the north is salty". In a Sina Weibo poll on "Do you add sugar to scrambled eggs with tomatoes at home?", 8,837 people chose to add sugar, while 8,708 chose not to add sugar, and the sweet and salty debate was evenly matched. Generally speaking, people who add sugar to scrambled eggs with tomatoes are mostly from the south, such as Shanghai and Fuzhou, and many northern students working in Fuzhou have once again complained about the "sweetness" of Fuzhou people.

Let's get back to the point. When making scrambled eggs with tomatoes, how would the students who didn't add sugar describe the taste of this dish? How would the students who added sugar describe the taste?

Put sugar pie so

@黄金左脚_CT: For scrambled eggs with tomatoes, I think you need to put sugar in it, otherwise the tomatoes will be too sour. Besides, scrambled eggs with tomatoes don’t contain much salt, soy sauce, MSG, etc. If you don’t put sugar in it, it will have no taste at all.

@江大莉要努力: My family has always added sugar to tomato scrambled eggs. My mother said that only people in Fuzhou do this. I was not used to it when I first got married. But after more than 20 years, I got used to it, so much so that I still add sugar to my cooking now.

@布织稻: This is not a big deal. People in Fuzhou love to add sugar to their cooking. There is also the even more outrageous pork liver soup. Do you dare to eat it? And I want to say, those that don’t add sugar, can you imagine eating this dish in Guangdong and Hong Kong with ketchup in it?

Sugar-rejecting people say this

@高海涛-SEA: Aren’t scrambled eggs with tomatoes always salted? I can’t imagine how to eat it sweetly. Cold tomatoes with sugar are okay! Anyway, I can’t imagine what scrambled eggs with sweetness feel like.

@苦逼通: I went to the cafeteria in Xiamen for dinner for the first time after school started. One of the dishes I ordered included a fried egg. I took one bite and immediately spit it out because I had never eaten fried eggs with sugar before. It was so ruthless.

@不见的鱼Ly: In Changzhou, they put sugar in it. I almost vomited the first time I ate it. It’s killing me! I’m a genuine Hubei person, I can’t wait to put chili in it.
