Deformed Vegetables?

EWWWWWW!

I love tomatoes.

Large, smooth skinned Beefsteaks are my favorite.
As a kid I used to get GIANT SOFTBALL sized ones and eat them like apples!

-----------------

My brother is growing Heirloom tomatoes and I cannot eat them because they are freaking ugly

IT's the grooves at the top the weird me out.....I did eat one and saw that they are pretty tasty and firm - But for some reason the visual on them makes me go YUK!

--------------

P.S. Soft tomatoes suck! SAUCE THEM!

Oh, man, Richard, you are missing out! Them's good tomatoes, you can send them to me if you don't want 'em!

I like the adventure of different colors and shapes - of foods I'm not allergic to, anyway!

I love the yellow tomatoes!!! Just thought I'd share that with you all!!!

I know, I know.....I am a freak!

These days, the tomatoes at the store are mostly meaty, tasteless, hard and dry.

It seems that they are engineered to be meatier, but they are picked early and a few days in the basket make them too soft!

The Heirloom 'maters were firm, juicy and stayed pretty stable for the week I had them.

I may have to adjust!
