It’s not their real name but a couple of years ago they started appearing at the green grocers and during the marchés. Naturally it was necessary to taste and they are far superior to normal super market tomatoes. Only recently have I learned that they are part of a project where farmers use old seed from produce no longer grown in an attempt to recreate the food of yesterday. Of course GM produce is still forbidden and any imported GM foods must be labelled.
Meanwhile I will continue to buy fresh, locally grown, unmodified fruits and vegetables not just because it is eco friendly, but because they taste so wonderful even when the skin of my tomatoes resembles a Chinese puppy. So bring out the fresh basil and the locally pressed olive oil a bit of salt and pepper...
