That's OK if you like insipid chutneys or merely want to use the
tomato as a vehicle. My experience of Beefsteak is that it is
structurally good for stuffing, but scarcely worth eating in any
form. Even in California ....

Beefsteak? That is a variety name rather than just a style?
Large tomatoes can be very delicious. Cath who posts here sometimes,
raved about Marmande (French variety)? I am keen to try some this
year but not if they are tasteless. I am sure it depends on the
variety.
