Maria gave us one to sample and I looks delicious. There is a bit on the bottom that was slightly unripe but a day on the kitchen window sill and it is now evenly red all over. She has recommended sliced with mozarella, basil and olive oil will make a meal on its own so I can't wait. It is shown here with a pencil for scale. We weighed it and it was 1lb 2oz so almost a winner. One slice is begger than a slice of bread so it could make a lot of sandwiches - shame I am not down for the bowls tea this week, that would have them talking!

Maria's tomato
We bumped into John the Italian at Morrisons the other day and he told us of his victory at the Newbury show, winning the tomato section with a beefstake that weighed 1lb 4oz. We have regularly admired Maria's (his wife) tomato selection but didn't realise that secret giant growing was going on behind the scenes.
