RJS1's annual tomato tasting

[jackal10]

Took place tonight at Downing College, Cambridge

The man himself:

A few tomatoes, both supermarket and home grown. Blind tasted. As always the home grown ones were better, but the best of the supermarket varieties, especially the small organic locally sourced ones are catching up.

But wait, there is more: The walled Kitchen garden at Wimpole Hall, http://www.wimpole.org/ a local National Trust property, kindly brought some of their rare and exotic tomato varieties.

Their "Gold Cherry" ("golden cherry"?) was the best tomato for flavour there...

Not Sungold, but I believe from the same breeder.

Since this tasting is raw tomatoes, the cherry tomatoes usually win.
