Man you can't beat a good heirloom tomato. The shit in the stores has been genetically altered to look appeasing to the eye. Flavor is lost. Now, us country folk don't care about looks, but want flavor. That is why tomatoes like these are still grown.

Brandywines, Cherokee Purple, ect. Amazing the difference in flavor.

Brandywines are my favorite. Huge, flavorful tomatoes with indeterminate vines. The damned plants grow like bamboo. I'm growing a few from seed for next year's garden.

Here's another cool NPR article: The Accidental Hybrid: Discovering New Tomatoes
