I don’t understand, is the tomato a metaphor?

““How many times have people taunted me because of a color that I had on or how tight my pants were? It’s nothing. I’m at the point now where I can go to ABC Carpet and spend five hours picking out sheets, ‘cause I love colors, like teal and taupe and salmon … When I visited Wayne at Rikers Island, I had a suit on with some slippers, and the guard said, ‘Man, those shoes are...

Pumpkin Ice Cream →
vrai-lean-uh:
The other day, Joy mentioned talk of a pumpkin-themed party. I have a great fondness for themed things, so we were chatting about the dishes one would serve* and I decided that you’d have to have pumpkin ice cream for dessert.**
