- spiderfarmer 9y agoIf you compare a typical Dutch tomato to a supersized watermelon type tomato from California, the Dutch tomatoes are ten times more flavorful.
- HillaryBriss 9y agoi live in Los Angeles, and most of the tomatoes i've found in supermarkets here are low in flavor. OTOH, if I buy the $5-$6 per pound heirloom varieties, the flavor is better. even better: tomatoes grown in people's backyards.
- bostik 9y ago> even better: tomatoes grown in people's backyards. Best tomatoes I've ever had were indeed grown in a backyard. In volcanic soil.
- iagooar 9y agoTen times zero, is still zero ;)
- ajmurmann 9y agoWhat do you mean by "supervised watermelon type tomatoes"? Are you referring to some of the the huge heirloom tomatoes? I find there yellow ones particularly flavorful. Much better than there Dutch stuff.
- Eyght 9y agoI've been buying what they call "Plum Tomatoes" and they are much better than anything else I can get here in Sweden. Technically I think they are Grape Tomatoes, as they are quite small.
- to3m 9y agoThese are reliably at least fairly good in the UK, too, along with cherry tomatoes (about the same size, but round). Plum tomatoes are a bit firmer and cherry tomatoes are a bit sweeter.
