I just took a bite out of one of the Granny Smith’s that I bought yesterday for my Sweet Potato Casserole.. It tasted like crispy cotton, no flavor, no aroma, not even bitterness.. Geeeeze
NOW, what in the H#ll is going on with Fresh Tomatoes?.. YUCK!
I learned the difference between store tomatoes (spit) and heirlooms when I started growing my own a few years back...what an incredible difference.
Get your hands on a 'Captain Lucky' tomato, served at the Boulevard in SF...I believe they won the James Beard award as 'America's Best Restaurant' recently.
