“But, when it comes to tomatoes, the breeders can’t seem to come up with good taste to put in the stores.”
When it comes to tomatoes you can have TASTE, or you can have Shelf Life & portability.
Pick one. :)
Eating from The Land, Your Hand or Your Garden:
Supper tonight is:
Brisket in the Crock Pot - all day - 8 hours! (Thanks, Chuck! - All Gave Some, Some Gave All)
Stuffing (I wasn’t in a ‘Potato Mood,’)
Green Beans from the garden (blanched, frozen)
Carrots and Onions - which were UNDER the Brisket for all of those 8 hours *DROOL*
The Brisket is sliced against the grain and served with Bob’s Bitchin’ BBQ Sauce (in Dodgeville, WI the ‘Big Town’ of 4K where I go for supplies) in the ‘Carolina’ flavor. Yum!
Their restaurant in Dodgeville is also my go-to place to meet up with friends. They will drive in for miles around to see me, no questions asked - the food is that good! :) (Maybe it ISN’T me they want to see? LOL!)

P.S. Dodgeville is named after Governor Dodge, as is a local State Park. Beau’s Grandparents owned farms in what is now Governor Dodge State Park! We had a family gathering there summer before last and it was so COOL to see all of the old buildings that they left standing (barns, grain bins, etc) when they made that land into a park for all to enjoy and a BIG attraction is all the horse trails; you can go camping with your horse! There’s also a small lake, but Beau’s family didn’t own any ‘Lake Front Property.’

Oof!
Now, honestly, was that a deliberate pun from the get-go?
But, anyway, that's exactly my question: Why can the apple breeders get "everything", so to speak, in apples, but the tomato breeders can't?
