Favorite Tomato

Every body knows that home grown vine ripened tomatoes are way better than
anything store bought.
The question is out of all the tomatoes you grow at home which one is your
favorite?

Here’s mine:
Care to guess the name of this tomato?

This is the first tomato I could classify as wow, excellent, delicious, or
very tasty.
The color and texture show some heirloom qualities.

We might need an inch scale before deciding this is
a classic beefsteak tomato.

Without a doubt, my favorite is Cherokee Purple. Yours looks like Manapal.

I have trouble deciding between Aunt Gertie's Gold and Persimmon.
Orange Strawberry is very good eating, too, but the seedling plants are not
vigorous and it seems excessively prone to BER and cracking.

For a red (well, deep pink) tomato, Kosovo. Sweet, yet complex.

And for a cherry, I like SunSugar. Everybody I serve them to loves them.
(They are very much like Sun Gold in flavor but not as prone to splitting.)

My current favorites are Yellow Brandywine and Atchins, I raised
a lot of Black Krim and Cherokee purple this year but found them
too grainy textured for my taste.

I believe that the Yellow Brandywine is the best tomato I have ever
eaten, however they are not very good for canning.
