Best Tasting Tomato For Sandwich ?

[Nyboy]

I have to have tomatoes on my sandwich and salads. Love a good BLT. What is your favorite tasting raw tomato ? The ones I buy in supermarket always taste like cardboard, no matter how red.

Probably no tomato tastes good this time of year.
And almost all of them tastes good out of the garden.

Celebrity was my choice until I started growing heirlooms, now I have to say it's hard to beat Cherokee Purple, some of them are downright ugly to look at but you can't beat the flavor. I gave a couple of plants to a neighbor, when he tried getting his wife to try a piece she said there's no way in h*ll I'm eating that, he persisted and finally she took a bite, I'm sure just to shut him up. Lo and behold, she insists he grow them every year now, it's become her favorite.

Well, Mary, how can you eat a BLT without the T?

It may be something psychological because I'm not willing to grow them for ~ maybe ~ one fruit to ripen the last week of the growing season but ... I had Kellogg's Breakfast twice in the garden. I thought they were delicious!

They are an orange and may not be what you are looking for in a BLT sandwich tomato. Pantano Romanesco is full of flavor! And, it's red ... but, late.

I've never eaten a Pink Brandywine but Red Brandywine OTV is great. It's supposed to be a little earlier than its sisters.

I though @marshallsmyth 's Amy Sue was an outstanding big pink! Last year was an unusually hot one so I don't know how it would perform in a cooler, short season. Marshall made a cross between Marianna's Peace with Giant Syrian. I have Marianna's Peace to grow with Amy Sue and compare in 2016.

For an earlier red beefsteak, I have been happy growing and eating Big Beef nearly as long as it has been available. I notice that it is popular with a lot of gardeners.

We grow Mortgage Lifter , Brandywine and German Johnson. All excellent tasting. We save seed each year as they are precious to me. The original seed came to me from @Smiles Jr. 's Dad. The ORIGINAL Smiles.

And I will agree with @so lucky you will not find a tomato at eh supermarket with good flavor or texture compared to garden grown and fresh from the vine.
