I may have missed some earlier stuff in this thread but are Ugly
tomatoes the same as "heirloom" tomatoes? Store-bought heirlooms
may taste good but they certainly look like the genetic
engineering had gone seriously wrong :-) I've been eating
tomatoes for longer than I care to admit but I don't ever
remember those peculiar shapes and colors when I was a child and
my grandfather never grew anything like them.
