Hi Brambs,
I eat them like sweeties! Honestly they are lovely just used in a salad or in a salsa.
Let me know what you think!

I think these tomatoes are delicious, they are really sweet and excellent cooked in the oven with a splash of Olive oil and seasoning,I could eat a plate of them to myself, that sounds very greedy!! but what the heck you only live once!!

These are lovely tomatoes Gravy, I'd say they are as good as the Canaries I normally look for at this time of year - in fact, I might even say they're better. Very flavoursome indeed and a great rec. Much better than the tasteless pap that a lot of supermarkets try to pass off as tomatoes - watery rubbish most of them.

I`ll keep an eye out for these next visit, GQ as I`m fed up buying lovely looking ones, only to find they`re tastless. Recently I`ve been buying baby plum toms, but some of those are rubbish too.
Thanks, crumbs x

I keep mine out of the fridge, I find that after a couple of days they become really sweet and flavoursome.

Piccolo in Asda are very nice too.
