At least they can't taste any worse than those hideous lumps from the
supermarket - they *look* like tomatoes and that's where the similarity
ends...I can't say I've tasted greenhouse toms for a while now but I'll
wager they are a thousand times better than Asda's!


Probably depends which ones you buy and how you store them. I like the plum
tom's but only when they have been in the vegetable rack for a few days.
