Taste is subjective. That is why we try different varieties, then you find what you like. Different for everyone, so there is no right or wrong. Fun to grow and see what comes of it.

The best tomato I ever had in my life was White Tomesol. HUGE flavor, beautiful balance. I'll always grow it. IDK why more don't. Maybe cuz peeps think whites/yellows are going to taste pissy.

To reinforce the point that you made: last year I grew Black Sea and was shocked by how good they were. This year I grew them again and they weren’t even close to ones I grew last year. We had an unusually wet July which could have contributed but I feel that I was getting some inconsistent seeds from MIGardener. I wish I saved some from the tomatoes last year 🤷🏼‍♂️

Live for your tomato reviews, I think we share the same palate for tomato flavor. Brandywine Sudduth, Goose Creek, and add to that, Black from Tula and Marianna's Peace which are my top favorites. I'd like to encourage you to try Joe's Plum, Rinaldo's, Ernesto, Sister Miriam, Fidelio, Dagestanskiy which are paste or oxheart tomatoes. I've added one tomatoes to my 2023 garden from one of your review and it is, Blondkopfchen tomato. You made it sound a little better than SunGold as far as not splitting as much and it hangs on the vine better. Those two things were important to me because SunGold splits so easily and falls from the vine in great numbers. When it ripens I'll see about the flavor.

I grow in hot, humid NC, zone 7b and Cherokee Purple is absolutely amazing down here. I think a lot really has to do with where you are, what the growing conditions are, etc. It can make all the difference.

Mmmmm, Pink Brandywine, my favorite too!

I had such poor production from my Brandywine Sudduth Strain here in Union County NJ. Had great production from my Cherokee Purple. Brad's Atomic Grape continues to pump out plum sized watermelon colored delights. I have ordered seeds for next year. Ananas Noire is going to get a shot!

Could you possibly record when you go to your friends house and show the whole process of the pizza making and the recipe now that would be great thanks for a great video

This is the first time I have watched your channel so I am not sure if you have or have not tried Paul Robeson tomato yet. Last season that and sun gold cherry tomatoes were my favorite. I am planting 14 more varieties this year and those two have earned a spot in the lineup. I am going to have to try white tomatoes now after hearing your review. TY

I enjoy the honesty and value the time you have put into your tomato trials!I tried to collect and grow the rainbow of tomatoes: White - Tomesol Peach Green - Aunt Ruby’s German Anana’s Noire (green/red) Yellow - Taxi and yellow pear Pineapple (yellow/red) orange - Persimmon (kellogg’s Breakfast) red - cosmonaut Volkov Brandy wine san marzano red/black - cherokee purple black krim chocolate cherry&plum

I agree that so many of these new tomato varieties are stunning and unusual in their looks, but if it doesn't taste good, then I'd rather have a regular Brandywine, Cherokee Purple or German Johnson. I am trying Ananis Noire this time for the first time and I'm excited to try it! I've heard positive things about it.

Captain Lucky is a green when ripe tomato.

I grew Thornbergs last year and had the same response as you. I did not regrow this year.

I hate to tell you,but I'm very certain that the 'Ananas Noir' you are showing isn't an Ananas Noir. I've never seen any that have looked even similar to that on the outside or on the inside. They are various combinations of dark and light green mixed on the exterior with pinks through the center and occasionally slight orangy or yellowing glow. The inside should be a very distinct pattern in the colouring. The flavour should knock your socks off. That tomato just doesn't resemble an Ananas Noir in any way. Could the seed have gotten mixed up?

Can you Link the paste video?

Maybe it's all the rain you get? That can make the flavor quality go down. James Prigioni grows up north. He'd be a good source!!!

Ross, how was the taste of the hybrid brandywine compared?

Maybe one type is better on sald and some are better on hamburgers .

To much yakiti yak yak

What's more important than seeing your head? Seeing the tomatoes in the tomato taste test.... duh. Sorry, but it just struck me as so egotistical when you said that.

stop slurping

You smoking dude?
