Salad tomatoes aren't any good for sauce, they contain way too much
water but I grow a truckload of romas, perfect for sauce. I tried
making sauce from salad tomatoes, a big waste of time and energy, and
the result is not very good flavor/texture wise... with too many salad
tomatoes it's best to give them away.
