What are you trying to say? That the current trendy breeds of tomatoes aren't real tomatoes? Heirloom tomato breeds are very much in vogue these days as far as I know
- defen 8y agoNot OP, and I'm slightly exaggerating for effect, but I would say that if a fresh ripe tomato is not the best tasting food you've ever eaten, then you haven't had a "real" tomato.
- OldFatCactus 8y agoI ate a whole tray of tomato sandwiches with vegannaise at my sister's wedding and I've been chasing that dragon ever since
- justtopost 8y agoWhat is the point of covering the taste of tomato with bread mayo, much less the dodgy vegan approximation? If you are going that far, crispy thick-cut bacon and fresh lettuce are required.
- OldFatCactus 8y agoIt's not something that can be explained to the uninitiated
- joecool1029 8y agoI grew up in NJ and grew many varieties over the years, some are crap and others are near the best tasting thing. Part of the problem is all the good varieties don't ship well so you mostly will not find them in grocery stores. The other issue is the genetics drift after some years. Our state university managed to release the heirloom varieties that the state was famous for.[1] My favorite were Ramapos.
