> This seems to be a perennial issue ( Lord - let the shepherd pie debate NOT arise again) - all I've ever heard it that refrigeration wrecks flavor, which is why I never buy more than a few toms at a time. Once I cut part of it away, tho, into a Rubbermaid it goes and it eaten the next day.

If I went by the mantas I read here on rfc I'd never eat a tomato
ever, because I don't have a home garden. AFAIC, grocery store
tomatoes benefit from a couple of days on the counter - just like
peaches and pears do. After that, they go into the refrigerator. My
grandfather was the big gardener and he never preached about tomatoes,
only corn. AFAIC, corn is the same for me - maybe my grocery store
corn is fresher than most - I dunno. Give me a blind taste test of
grocery store vs garden corn and I doubt I could tell you which was
freshly picked, but what I *can* tell you is when it's overcooked.
