Isn't the main point of the 'vine' so that the check-out person can distinguish them from ordinary tomatoes? And charge you more. nah, the plastic packaging and bar code do that :-) Honestly, I find that good vine tomatoes (from Sardinia, for example) have lots of flavour even in mid-winter. Far better than the greenhouse-grown Dutch or English, which is as one would expect -- they've seen the sun. But food miles make them a very expensive luxury. In winter tinned tomatoes are a better bet; the fresh ones are a summer treat. regards sarah -- Think of it as evolution in action. |
