what does cutting something julienne mean? I heard someone talk about cutting a tomato julienne.

[Pea Pod]

Thin strips couldn`t see it working with a tomato.

I thought that was to chop them into long, fine pieces like long matchsticks - but tomatoes?

Halve them, scoop out the juicy, wet, pippy stuff and then Julienne the skins. That is the only way I can think of.

Tomato Julienne are thin strips of sun-dried tomato in (usually) olive oil packed into glass jars:-
