Tonight I ate some of the most delicious tomatoes I ever ate in my life.
Sent from South Texas, the Purple Haze knocked me out. In fact, I'd have to say the two F2s I ate may have tasted even better than the two F1s. Just a little more bite to the flavor than the F1s which were deep and mellow. Awesome is all I can say for sure.
Peace, PV

Well, been working my way through those tomatoes day by day. Eating some for breakfast every morning. Yum yum!
Purple Haze bicolor variant was delicious too. And what a beautiful little 2-inch saladette that is. Wow.
And this morning, I ate a Hege Pink German ... or Hege German Pink ... whatever is the proper name. LeHoullier got it from some older fellow in North Carolina. Now that is one wonderful, meaty, deep pink, flawless tomato. And completely delicious. As good or better than any Brandywine I've eaten.
But the topper was something called "Not" Purple Strawberry, which apparently is a working cross of Cherokee Purple x German Red Strawberry from Jay in the Brazos River Valley down in Texas. He's all bumbed out that he cannot capture a strawberry shaped fruit. I say, well that's too bad, Jay, I guess. But that was about the best tasting tomato I've eaten in the past 3 years! HELL YEAH!!!
Ate a Beefywine too. Nice red tomato. Huge fruit. Meaty. But still, it has that old fashioned red tomato wang that just cannot approach the sweet, wine like complexity of a purple tomato. Very very good. But not great.
Also ate the Casey's Pure Yellow, which supposedly is a clear yellow mutation from Green Giant. It's good, but sorry, it did not drag along the distinct flavor of Green Giant. Very good for a yellow tomato, but ...
Still remaining to eat: Christopher Columbus (heavy, red, sausage shaped hand grenade), Cherokee Sausage, aka Wessel's Purple Pride (deep purple, evenly colored, perfectly blemish free, pointed paste like ewe's udder), and Dana's Dusky Rose (which, hey Darth, it's got great potential as a modest sized, perfectly shaped, blemish free, lovely colored, long shelf life salad slicer) been on the counter now for 6 days now and still holding it's quality just fine.
Peace, PV

Well, finally got around to the Dana's Dusky Rose. Beautiful tomato. Nice inside and out. Meaty. Few seeds. Flavor very good but not superior, so a bit disappointing after a year of all out flabergastery.
Oh well.
But then it takes one hell of a tomato to top Cherokee Purple for flavor. Or Big Cheef. Or a few others. So, all in all, very nice tomato. And I can see why it got such a buildup. Cuz with a bit of sea salt added, it was in a higher class.
But I judge tomato flavor straight up with no salt added. That puts Cherokee Purple, Indian Stripe, Big Cheef and a few other freen flesh/purple tomatoes in a class all their own.
Peace, PV
