Um....Tomatoes, that is.
I've had good luck with a product called kumato, which means a brown tomato. My daughter and I agreed that we liked the flavor. Locally, they are sold by Pick 'n Save.

Those of you that have luck with other tasty hot-house types, chime in, please!

I gotta have my 'matoes every week, in sandwhiches, on hot
dishes, with eggs in the morning.

Lets hear from you.

I pretty much go without in the winter. But there are some things that just need that color. So I just buy anything with no expectation of good taste.

Yeah, sometimes you have to...I'll buy a few during the winter for burgers or tacos. The local grocery has mostly romas(Mexico) and hothouse slicers(Canada), usually about $2/lb. I keep home-growns in the freezer for salsa making.

I go without once I can't find them at the farmer's market anymore (and they had them until Thanksgiving this year).

I buy campari tomatoes in the winter. They're not as awesome as this link makes them out to be, but they're better than any other tomatoes I've found in the stores.

A hamburger or grilled cheese just isn't the same without a
slice of tomato. The acidity, the juice, the texture; hidden in a bunch of Nueske's slow fried crispy bacon, lettuce and mayo, ummm. Good enough to ignore any protests
from my taste buds.
Anyway, I've had plenty of dry, mealy and otherwise not-so-
tasty tomatoes during the choice season too.

Will definetly try the campari when I find it. Meantime, I
am ok with the 'brown' 'mato. And, I actually plan to save
some seeds for next summer.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Pondy
