A lady at the farmers’ market in Davis used to sell a variety called Park’s Whoppers. When we first discovered them, we’d buy a grocery bag full of them and practically live off of them for a week, they were so delicious. But you had to get there early or they’d sell out.
As their popularity increased, the lady began to act like she was doing you a favor even selling you her Park Whoppers. Then I realized she, like everyone else in Davis, was a Communist, and her attitude seemed say, “how dare some of you starving students, albeit Capitalist pigs at heart, try to buy up all my Whoppers and deprive the poor peasants their rightful share.” So she restricted sales to three or four tomatoes per customer and soon went out of business. And all the peasants starved to death. Hahahaha, stupid Communists.
Anyway, haven’t had a Park Whopper since. I check Park’s catalog occasionally and they still have them and claim they are better than ever.
It’s amazing to peruse the seed catalogs and see all the different varieties that are available out there, hundreds of them. Bet they’re good. Waaay better than store bought.
