The others are awful..hard, pale and tasteless by the time they get over here. <br />These look yummy (just missed a sale on them yesterday). <br />I've grown some but never was a big fan of tomatoes until I realized it had something to do with the way their often prepared. So I cut them small for salads and enjoy them in tuna sandwiches with onions and of course salsa.Reginahttp://inthepacific.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-9085926284953035052011-09-28T21:26:30.494-07:002011-09-28T21:26:30.494-07:00I used to think those wrinkled tomatoes were an ac...I used to think those wrinkled tomatoes were an accident/freak of nature. I never knew they were meant to look like that. Guess you could call it a Shar Pei tomato? I love home grown the best, but if I can't have those, I love the vine ripened in the store that are the most expensive and if I don't have enough money for them, I'll get the little Italian variety - I really am a big tomato fan :-)Doris Sturmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09383495196401230783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-60869081534371444812011-09-28T17:34:30.042-07:002011-09-28T17:34:30.042-07:00when I first saw the pictures I thought they were ...when I first saw the pictures I thought they were gourds.

Would think beefsteak as they are large and round. We eat our tomatoes sliced and eat a lot of them. I knew about Heirlooms but have not seen them in years, but then perhaps I never looked for them either. Great capture Ginny of scripture and "ugly tomantoes". You know the funny part is, I like the look of those Heirlooms, the ridges have texture.

Funny thing, when I would take a plate full of sliced tomatoes, red, green, yellow, orange and even white heirlooms, people would eat mostly red. They did not know what they were missing by tasting some delicious ones. My favorite was Cherokee Purple. Yes, it was dark purple. Enjoyed the beautiful picture.<br />Jean in MemphisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
