I discovered this week that Mrs CCB cuts them like B above, discarding the top of the tomato. I’d just assumed everyone cuts them like A.
I have form for being wrong about tomatoes. So I’d be intrigued.
Different slices for different needs, obviously, but top to bottom seems the only civilised option.

Are tomatoes sandwiches, cheese, or yoghurt?
Probably do both
I don’t remember the last time I bought a large salad tomato like that. They have no taste
Vine tomatoes are alright though
With A are you not cutting through the stem? Seems like a bad idea
You remove the stem though, so there’s just the discoloured top of the tomato (which is perfectly edible imo)
I have always done A just because tomatoes sit more naturally on a chopping board that way

I do B most I reckon, but it’s definitely a case-by-case basis thing
As a cherry tomato aficionado I should bow out of this thread.
I’ll give those vine ripened ones a go next time I’m in sainos (probably be January or February) and I’ll report back (assuming supermarkets in this country stay open post Brexit).
I don’t think I’ve ever cut up a tomato à la style B.
This is a chance to broaden your horizons - a new opportunity has presented itself!
Thanks, Alan Titchmarsh. I was referring to the ones in the supermarkets that are sold on-the-vine
If I’d read this thread before going to the shops I’d have got some, as it is, I’ve only got cherry ones.

They are definitely the best, and they remind me of my granddad’s greenhouse.
