Yeah, tomatoes only taste of tomato in the heart of summer, and even then you better be in a place that produces them rather than one that imports them. I'm guessing that's because tomatoes are fruit and fruit always tastes better when it's in season. For instance, I wonder if I've ever known the true taste of ripe mango. I have eaten plenty of mangoes, but I only ever eat them in the UK, where they're imported. I suspect that they taste very differently (as in much better) if you pick them from a tree in the right season. I bet South-East Asians in the UK must turn their noses up to the local mango supply, like I do with, well, most veg really.
