ripe tomatoes

Grow 'em or get 'em from a neighbor who does. All commercial
tomatoes are the pits because if they're tough enough to
ship all the flavor is gone.

Many stupidmarkets offer 'on the vine' ripened tomatoes-for
a premium price. But even these pale next to home grown.
Assuming 'the NE' is the northern New England states rather
than the generic NorthEast, that is probably your best bet
at this time of year.

Have you seen those Ugly tomatoes in your supermarket. I
like them a lot, even this time of the year.

I think they call those 'heirlooms'. No doubt about it,
they are delicious - they damn well should be for four
bucks a pound!

I like grape tomatoes - they're sweet and flavorful, unlike
the cardboard tomatoes we've grown used to in recent years.
If I didn't live in the city, I'd grow my own. Alas, a
window herb garden is about all I can handle.

Not ugly tomatoes. Ugly tomatoes with a capital U. It's a
brand name. They are large nice red tomatoes. Very nice for
a supermarket tomato. Especially good on a nice sandwich.

Sorry I missed the Cap., although I did think you were
explaining something other than unattractive. How nice to
have access to a large, decent tasting tomato during the
winter. I don't recall ever having heard of the Ugly tomato
before. Out here in the West we do have access to the grape
tomatoes and those tomatoes that are sold still attached to
the vine. The variety that I get at Costco is called
Campari. The vines are always very fresh and smell strongly
of tomato vine. The tomatoes are sweet--quite a bit sweeter
than the usual garden variety, but taste very much like
freshly picked tomato. Janet

They are the closest to fresh garden tomatoes that you can
find in a supermarket. Nice? They're wonderful! But in our
area, the season is quite short, only a couple of weeks.
They are called Ugly because they are ribbed quite heavily
on the outside (think acorn squash only moreso.) They have
few, tiny seed cavities and are very flavorful.

Actually they're "Ugly Ripe". Pretty good for
stupidmarket tomatoes and available all over the east
coast this time of year.

Ohhh...I misspoke then - I don't think I've ever seen those.
I'll have to look for them. Are they regional, do you know?

(laughing) Here's the deal. In the past I have a couple of
times said that I have noticed that the supermarket
tomatoes, even in the winter, have been getting better than
the whitish cardboardy things we're all so used to. That was
met with disdain or deafening silence. I happen to think the
Ugly's (Ugli's?) are very good indeed.

Check out the site Steve W mentioned? It doesn't say
anything about regional or season, but at least it
describes them. Gloria said that the season is quite short.
I would go out of my way to get one this time of the year,
myself. The site says it's a misshapen beefsteak. I can go
along with that.

Maybe it's just because of where I live, but the store down
the street has some really nice, juicy looking tomatoes
sitting by the front window. Ripley, TN is known for
tomatoes but I thought it was too early for them to look
that nice.

I saw them everywhere from South Carolina to Pennsylvania
this time last year (March and April).

Who Foods Market usually has the cluster tomatoes and they
are pretty good.

There's a greenhouse in VT that grows them hydroponically.
Google for vermont tomato greenhouse hydroponic or
variations as you should be able to find them.

Let me explain. I do grow tomatoes. They are usually quite
good, though the season is short. Trouble is, they aren't
ripe now. My Mom has terminal cancer, and has a craving for
tomatoes. I thought that maybe somewhere (I don't know,
Hawaii? Austrailia?) there would be a grove that might have
heirloom tomatoes that could be FedExed.

At this time of year the only fresh tomatoes I eat come from
an organic farm in Yaphank, NY that grows excellent cherry
tomatoes indoors. They come to the Union Sq. Greenmarket
three times a week. They are extravagant enough.

I wait till they are ripening in the ground for larger ones.
Just how well they come out depends on the season, and the
particular location.
