For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

        German Striped and variants of them are my better half’s favorite. I’ve read that the thing to look for is green/brown shoulders on heirloom tomatoes as that is where all the tomatoey flavor comes from, and is the real reason redder tomatoes tend to be tastier than pale ones.

          Oh, cool! This will be my first time trying them, and I’m definitely looking forward to it.

          I haven’t heard that before but it does make sense - I’ll have to keep that in mind on my tomato journey haha

      That looks really weird. Not knowing about it, I’d assume the tomato isn’t ripe yet in that state.
      But I assume it’s perfectly ripened and delicious?

        Yes, there are all sorts of tomatoes, coming in various shapes, sizes, and colors. They all have different tastes too, although it is going to taste like a tomato to some degree.

          I’m going to look around for something like this where I live. I’ve only ever come into contact with the “normal” tomatoes, but I’m intrigued.

            In addition to color variety, different tomatoes have different textures. A farmer’s market is more likely to have a grower who knows the difference than a grocery store with a small heirloom basket where the staff just pit out what they have.

            Like some are more firm, or have more juice, and with a lot of variety like apples.

            They’re all heirloom tomatoes. There are heirloom varieties of other things too. Tons of more flavors exist than what you are presented in the supermarket!
