Hello All,
I was was watching a cooking show this morning while pondering a seed
catalogue and they mentioned an Italian variety of tomato that they were
calling an ever lasting tomato. It looked bigger than a cherry tomato
but smaller than a regular tomato and I was hoping some one might have a
clue as to what variety of tomato this might be? The programme made it
sound like it was the sort of tomato I should be growing this summer D


TIA
Andi

Try pomodori di Pachino
Thanks Gunner,
I had a look at the di Pachino, but that wasn't it. Pomodori eterne, I
think it was called, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
The search goes on D

Good luck. I think it may be a nursery or sellers trade or brand name.
Pomodori eterne or eternal tomato doesn't show up in any searches or
catalogs I have looked through. If it is supposed to be Italian you could
ask some folks from there. It was not a name I ever heard when I lived
there (76-81). Guisi http://www.judithgreenwood.com/ over at
Rec.Food.Cooking is an ex-pat living in Umbria, and there is another Italian
named Vilco hanging there, you would have to search him out.
