I on the other hand am happy with any homegrown tomato. Big or little pink or red. Not really interested in other colors.

Hubby likes the big slicers like mortgage lifter, so that one slice covers the entire sandwich. I like those, but also the smaller ones that are just right for a salad with no leftovers or else several cherry tomatoes for salads and snacking.

Romas are great for the sauces.

They are great for sauces, and salsas and pico. I also slice them paper thin for my 'green pizza' with pesto instead of regular red sauce. Romas are a personal preference, based on my kitchen experience. I can process 50 lbs of romas faster than I can 50 lbs of almost any other tomato.

I love cherry tomatoes for salads or eating out of hand, but I rarely ever grow them. I grow what I'm going to use for most of the year. It's a homestead kind of mindset, I suppose. Survival crops first, everything else, dead last.
