my favourite tomato experiance so far (in my short growing experiance)
was last year have a tomato salad of yellow-orange sungella, orange-red
gardeners delight and red-pink tumbling toms. A feast for the eyes as
well as for the tum. From now on im going to try and get as much colour
and variety into my tomato crop as possible.

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

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.

Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar.

Miracle Sweet has a real nice flavor sweetish but with just the right amount
of tang.........H
