When i was a little they were great about 1955 ... my grand mother raised them and made all kinds of stuff from them ...
the ones i like were called BEEFSTAKES and were great stright up
take a bite out of one and sprinkle canning salt on it and eat it like a big apple but these things were the size of a grapefruit

i raise then even today but the store bought stuff is nasty and i very seldom use them

in the winter we eat ones we have canned from the summer in stews and chilis
and a friend makes some into mexican salsa

if you can find a seed place in the UK that sells BEEFSTEAK type
get some seed and try them in a big flower box up on the roof so some one does not NICK the whole crop

and try one just befor it is ripe but still green ...sliced up geeen and fried rolled in flour taste is like fried okra rolled in flower and fried in olive oil...
red neck country cookin at its best
now where is the one i picked today you guys made me hungry

yes. yegh. expensive and they're tasteless.

we have some (mostly only indian shops and for indian cooking) called jam tomatoes. they're small and ..sort of long, not round. they have some taste. i only use them.

in the winter we eat ones we have canned from the summer in stews and chilis

woww - i should visit you one day. that place looks nice, and now i find you do stuff like that. ! real food.

and try one just befor it is ripe but still green ...sliced up geeen and fried rolled in flour taste is like fried okra rolled in flower and fried in olive oil...

wooOOOHH!!!!!!! okra, the indians do it too, it's called bindi - "ladies fingers". gotta be done right, or they're not nice.
they do lots of battered vegetables.

I love tomatoes. I would almost go as far to say that I couldn't live without tomatoes.

Tomato Ketchup - gotta have it with chips, fish fingers, burgers, cheese on toast, eggs, sausages...

Pizza - you need that tomato sauce on top of the base before the basil mozzarella, pepperoni, anchovies and olives go on!

Without tomatoes I would never be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise, chilli, meatballs, steak and ale pie, lots of types of curries...

Damn - all this talk of food is making me hungry. Time for a cheese and tomato ketchup toastie or 4

Chips and salsa are great in Mexican restaurants or at home !

while we are cooking

some thing to eat while wasteing time and beer
take a flour tortilla for you guys in the UK its a flat bread about 1/8 inch thick

cover with olive oil both sides and place on a baking sheet pan
cover with tomato sause and pepperoni and cheese (or ground beef crumble)and cheese options include onion and/or crisp bacon (pan cook bacon first)
bake 10 to 12 min in 400 deg f oven

make a lunch size pizza some folks here call them a crispie

been making them for 40 some years its a super thin pizza
and good

Dave dude, that sounds awesome...mmmmm Although i hate Tommy'o'toes straight, i do eat tomatoe sauce, bollocknaise, pizza and all that stuff. I just can't eat tomatoes in their original condition, makes me wanna hurl big time! My mates tried to stitch me up once and stuck tommies in my barbecued roll of meaty goodness, needless to say under first tongue detection of the red alien in my mouth it was immediately sprayed across them. Although everyone was in absolute hysterics i was not THAT ammused to say the least, those fat gits had eaten all the other food and i had to pick the pips n mushy alien internals outta my french stick!

[DAVID THOMPSON]

yep i know the feeling as i do not eat pork

porky pig is safe with me

we have a house i can not live in... the stepsons live there it is next door
to a brand new breakfest resturant and they have stunk the area up so bad
i could not move back in... me and the wife have been living with my mom 8
years and she went to house set the cats and dogs for the boys and it made her sick ugh
