With time, my love for tomatoes started to grow and thanks to "Heirloom Tomatoes" a whole new world has opened to me, revealing the most intriguing tomatoes I have ever come across.
"Heirloom Tomatoes", or heritage tomatoes come in so many shapes, tastes and colors that it is impossible not to fall in love with them all!
Until now, I've tested "Green Zebra", "Kumato", "Golden Queen", "Yellow Jelly Bean", "Cherry" & "Beef Heart" tomatoes and I had much pleasure eating them.
"Heirloom" is the theme for the September CLICK photo event at Jugalbandi. I have submitted the fourth photo, so i'm crossing my fingers in order to be amongst the lucky winner...
I agree Rosa! I can't stop eating tomatoes now! I just wish we could get more of the heirloom variety here in Australia.
ReplyDeletei shud giv a try on some of these varieties of heirloom tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteje suis en plein dans la confiture de tomates vertes
ReplyDeleteCelle de ta photo ont un gout de groseille je trouve :)
Magnifiques tes tomates...
ReplyDeleteLove the tomatoes. We do not have this variety here in Oz (I don't think), but I love tomatoes in general!
ReplyDeleteA photgraphers dream come true Rosa. How absolutely lovely! Beautiful colour play.
ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful pics Rosa. I'm with you - as kid I would pick the tomato out of my food, I'd only eat tomato sauce. Now I'd be lost without fresh tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteI have tested during this summer the Green ZEbra and it was fabulous ! Pierre
ReplyDeleteI was never a great lover of tomatoes as a kid either ... but freshly picked tomatoes, right off the vine ... VERY good.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this kind of tomato ... the one you've feature here. Pretty.
Bellissimi, gialli si li ho visti ma zebrati...meravigliosi!
ReplyDeleteBuon inizio settimana
baci
Never see before this type of tomatoes, I love them, beauty pics, with the kids Rosa we eat tomatoes all year!! winter,spring,summer falletc. But the most I love are the tomatoes summer, are so tasy!! xxgloria
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful heirlooms! Heirloom tomatoes are always my favorite!
ReplyDeleteJe ne connais pas toutes ces variété de tomates
ReplyDeletetes photos sont vraiment superbes
Magnifiques couleurs.
ReplyDeleteCe sont de très belles tomates. Vive la diversité et l'originalité!
:)
As soon as I open your page, I was like, OMG ... this is my son most favorite tomato. he love this zebra green stripes tomato so much. He told me to make salad with this type of tomato every single day. So funny that he only like this color. Wonder why?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Rosa!
Très belles photos.Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI havent tasted these as yet, let me see if i can find them here :)
ReplyDeleteI've spent a lot of the last week eating a large variety of heirlooms. I'm trying to remember the names now. I know one was "Black Sea Man" - I can't remember the others, but they are soooooo good!
ReplyDeleteI like them especially on whole wheat bread with a little mayonnaise. The perfect summer lunch.
Rosa, as a kid I failed to see what all the fuss was about tomatoes, unless it came in sauce form.
ReplyDeleteAs an adult, my feelings didn't change much, until I tried a friend's homegrown tomatoes. That's when tomatoes finally gained my respect. It's also when I started growing my own. Being a wimpy, amateur gardener, I started out with Sweet 100s. But, even those tasted heavenly, compared to the impostors sold in supermarkets.
I also love heirloom tomatoes, but your lovely photos makes them too pretty to eat. It's tomato art![g]
Je crois que je ne les ai jamais mangé, mais maintenant je suis trés interessée, merci mon amie.
ReplyDeleteI love heirloom tomatoes! And they're so pretty, they look like little gemstones.
ReplyDeleteMême les tomates sont superbes quand tu les prends en photo
ReplyDeletebisous
J'en ai eu cette année dans mon potager, une merveille pour les papilles ! accompagné d'un filet d'huile d'olive et une pointe de sel... que du bonheur ! Tes photos sont absolument sublimes Rosa, bonne soirée, bisous
ReplyDeleteI love tomatoes. These are just the prettiest pictures!
ReplyDeleteI am always seeking out heirlooms for their colour and outstanding flavours.They are like all the colours of a sunset on your plate.
ReplyDeleteJe ne connais pas mais elles sont vraiment jolies ces tomates Rosa:)xxx
ReplyDeleteI never liked toamtoes at all as a kid - so mushy but now, they're a real staple, espcially in summer. Thanks for increasing my awareness of all things culinary - these are gorgeous and amazing to look at.
ReplyDeleteI must try and get some seed and grow these next year. They look lovely
ReplyDeleteOMG! lovely pics. I kept staring it for a pretty long time he he! Impressive :-)
ReplyDelete..tu es tellement toujours intéressante Rosa..
ReplyDelete~nancy xx
I totally agree with you beautiful, when I was a child I hated tomatoes, I remember my Mom used to tell us that we should eat them because that was the only possible way t have som nice pinky cheeks!! (haha)..I never buy her the idea..
ReplyDeleteUntil I got older I became so fond about tomatos, glad to know I'm not alone.
bisous
I find heirloom tomatoes so interesting. I have a funny relationship with tomatoes, I can't eat them on salad but I will eat them on anything else.
ReplyDeleteThese tomatoes are such a beauty ! i'd love to grow them too !!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful pictures...
ReplyDeleteMoi aussi quand j'étais enfant, je n'aimais pas les tomates, faut dire que ma mère en faisait presque tous les jours...Ce n'est qu'à l'âge adulte que j'ai su les apprécier, comme le choux fleur...
ReplyDeleteIl n'y a que les imbéciles qui ne changent pas d'avis!!!
Just the right ones. YOu can use thse to enter Jugalbandi, where a monthly food event is going. Heirloom recipes and photos have to be submitted. I bet you will win. These are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVIJITHA: Thanks ever so much!
ReplyDeleteJe connais cette variété de tomates que j'ai eu l'occasion de goûter au château de la Bourdaisière qui cultive plus de 630 variétés. Elles sont excellentes !
ReplyDeleteBisous, Doria
not only are heirlooms soooo gorgeous, but i also think they taste far superior to your typical red tomater. my grandpa has actually bred his own heirloom variety, and it's the best tomato i've ever put into my mouth. :)
ReplyDeleteI love green zebras! Good luck in the contest!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you had shot them, the outcome looks amazing, just jive with my taste, well executed! congrats!
ReplyDeleteTout à fait extraordinaire !
ReplyDeleteBisous
Hélène
je vais moi aussi croiser les doigts pour toi
ReplyDeleteil y a un nombre incroyable de variétés de tomates et celle ci est belle et surtout savoureuse
Fabulous tomatoes Rosa. Good luck with CLICK!
ReplyDeleteSuperbes ces tomates!! Je vais essayer d'en planter l'an prochain. Bises.
ReplyDeletemon voisin est fana de variétés anciennes, grâce à lui je me régale depuis des années, quel bonheur de retrouver le vrai gout des tomates ( et tant pis pour ceux qui n'achètent que des variétés industrielles!
ReplyDeleteFascinant et les photos sont magnifiques! Bises et bonne soirée
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos! Those tomatoes are so intriguing. I really hope you will be the lucky winner of the September CLICK photo event!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Miette.
Like you, I didnt like tomatoes outside of sauce either :) gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous photos and tomatoes of course.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never had this kind of tomatoes...very interesting...and thank you so much for the pictures!
ReplyDeleteTu es la première personne que j'entends dire ne pas aimer les tomates.
ReplyDeleteHeureusement que tu as changé d'avis.
Superbes photos.Bonne chance pour le concours.
Bisous.
Caro
So I am not the only one with tomato issues - cool! I don't like them unless they're in something; I pick them out of salads & off of burgers & sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteles tomates vertes, ça fait longtemps que j'en ai pas vu. J'en mangeais beaucoup petite au Liban. Celles de ta photo sont un peu différentes de ce que je connais, ceci dit elles sont très jolies je trouve!
ReplyDeletebisous
Nice blog, Rosa!
ReplyDeleteMMMMmmmmm.. tomatoes....
Ladybird :)
They are so pretty. I just wish I wasn't allergic.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with tomaotes. Usually they're just nowhere near as exciting as they should be! Until you try a great one that is...
ReplyDeleteahhhh tomatoes.. love em right now!
ReplyDeleteI had the same tomato experience as you. Younger I only ate freshly-grown garden tomatoes because everything else had no taste to me. I LOVE heirloom tomatoes and your photos are beautiful! Hope you win.
ReplyDeletegorgeous tomatoes. thanks for your entry, dear rosa.
ReplyDeleteQuelles belles tomates!
ReplyDeleteJe te souhaite de gagner car tu es vraiment très talentueuse!
Magnifique composition! J'aime beaucoup!!
ReplyDeleteBises et beau dimanche.
I used toi feel the way you did. It all depends onthe tomato. Beautiful photos!
