wrote in message oups.com... AFAIK thay are tomatoes allowed to ripen naturally, most tomatoes in the shops are picked green, then artificially ripened when they arrive in the UK. They certainly do ahve a much nicer taste that the equivalent loose ones. I also wonder sometimes whether the better flavour is also due to slightly more esoteric varieties being available for vine-ripened as opposed to the standard boxes of anaemic dutch/belgian/canary toms that are so beloved of the supermarkets. The price hike is horrendous though, and I really detest the overpackaging and overgrading typical of vine-toms. Incidentally, why are they described as being "on the vine" rather than "on the truss"? Are both correct, or is it marketing-speak? -- Richard Sampson mail me at richard at olifant d-ot co do-t uk |
