Each to his own I suppose! - I like MM in cooked dishes, especially curries

tom, cooking, salads sandwiches etc - I've never actually grown MM, but my
dad used to grow them on and off along with a few other varieties.

Try Romano (plum) tomatoes for cooking - they knock seven varieties of
spots off Moneymaker.

I like a tomato with a bit of tang, hence my recommendation for partially
ripened ones with melted cheddar!

Shirley has a tang (and flavour) when ripe, as does Ailsa Craig.
