I haven't had them, as far as I know, but my experience is that
beefsteak tomatoes are OK in southern Europe, and a waste of effort
in the USA and UK. I am not over the moon about any of the ones I
have had in southern Europe, though I have no idea of which they were.
I find the plum ones almost always better.
