In Praise of the Tomato

The watery, anemic, store-bought tomatoes of the off season cannot even come close to the rich, hearty flavour of a ripe, juicy tomato fresh off the vine. Whether you prefer a full, red, beefsteak tomato to slice for a sandwich, or the instant gratification of a bite-sized cherry tomato, nothing beats homegrown for satisfying the tastebuds.
