A BLUE tomato. What next?!

**MaureenHall** · 15-09-2008, 06:18 PM

Hmmmmmm not too sure about them

, but there again I'm still not convinced about blue potatoes either - just wouldn't look "right" on my plate. Maybe if I ate them blindfolded I might change my mind

oh that just looks wrong

**zazen999** · 15-09-2008, 06:28 PM

Now...
I'm all for different colour veg...but a blue tomato???

I'll need a couple of weeks to get my head around it. but I can see me trying that next year, if not the year after.

I love to try anything new - and the stranger it is the better I like it!

I'll certainly be looking out for some seeds or perhaps buy some if available in a supermarket and recover the seed.

Maureen - don't be put off by the blue colour of potatos - they're great on flavour and I hope to grow again next year with some highland burgundy for a patriotic potato salad in the national colours!

They look like plums!

The reason people in the food industry wear blue plasters is so that it is seen in food if it should come off ( they always do ) no way am i eating anything blue.

Blue? Mind you, Black toms are brown, and the green ones are yellow-ish. You need a huge imagination usually!

I don't know what you're all looking at!
I clicked on Duronal's link and just got an ordinary tomato.

**SlugLobber** · 16-09-2008, 08:36 AM

How cool is that?!? Duronal, you are very bad, firstly for telling me about new toms to try, but also the second link was to another gardening forum!!!! Ooops!

**Flummery** · 16-09-2008, 10:52 AM

Urgh. Just checked the link - it looks toxic. Maybe even septic! Reminds me too closely of spud apples and the wild nightshades for comfort.

Looks a bit like the purple tomatillo. I won't be in any rush to grow it - blue pasta sauce doesn't really appeal

**Shazia** · 16-09-2008, 05:44 PM

Gives a whole new meaning to plum tomatoes

**Snadger** · 16-09-2008, 07:12 PM

I don't give a monkeys what it looks like........it's the taste that I judge a veggie/fruit on!

Sounds interesting!
