Here we have a tomato about that size and shape that isn't bad. Santa
Sweets is the brand I grab when I'm really desperate for a fresh sort
of tomatoey flavor.

The ones we get most often in my part of NY are grown in hydroponic
greenhouses another couple hundred miles north. [Campari- Kumato- and
Santa Sweets]
