But tomatoes always make me salivate too. Jo Ann, what did you think of the chocolate cherry tomatoes you grew? I see them on top there. My plant was quite prolific but I didn't think the tomatoes themselves had a very developed flavor.
Actually, I love the way they grow on the vine -- like you said, really prolific. I like their size and the testure of them. They are tart, and have the mouth feel I want in a good, firm, but ripe tomato. However, I think they lack personality, especially when compared to the green grape and the snow whites that I grew last year (couldn't find snow white this year). It is a tomato, in my estimation, that works well with other tomatoes and flavors, and that stands up well to roasting, which I have been doing a lot of with my tomatoes this year. I used it in a greek salad last night and it holds its own in that tangy, crunchy medley. I like it better than a regular cherry tomato, if for nothing but the aesthetic value. But, there are others that I prefer for flavor.
