My favorite tomato from my garden this year is a white. Big White Pink Stripe. It has a pink blush and a tropical mango-like flavor (seeds from tomatofest.com). LOVE IT!!!

I am give Lemon Boys every year by a friend who starts them. I enjoy the change of pace from other tomatoes, so I keep letting him give them to me!

Great review on this tomato. I will pass on it, although the idea of having it with fish is intriguing…

Very interested in this post. I am patiently waiting on my White Tomasol ripening, or draining as you put it I only managed to get one plant to this stage, and it seems a bit fragile with only a few fruits.Here’s hoping we get to do a taste test too. Thanks.

This is very interesting to me. We were offered some white tomato seed this year and I declined because space is limited and I also hadn’t tasted one that I felt competed with other tomatoes.

I wonder if this one would be good with fish, which is often overwhelmed by the flavour of a red tomato? Perhaps I’ll try those white tomato seeds next year after all …

ooooh so glad the tomato tastings are finally on the way. Less happy to hear the currently mentioned bush has been so severely savaged. I have some white tomesol tomatoes growing in the winter indoor tomato experiment. Less chance of critter damage, more chance of just plain dying/not fruiting due to ineptitude mixed with bravado. Just wondering, how thick was the skin? The only white tomato I grew had obscenely thick skin, which was a total downer in my books. All the best with the rest of the tomato growing and look forward to the next installment!
