This was no ordinary tomato, this was a Tesco’s Finest tomato.
I've been Googling to
try and find out what kind of tomato this is.
My brain is telling me Marmande but it’s been known to be wrong before
and I wanted to check. All I can find
out is that it is “an Heirloom tomato”, I’d like to know more - any ideas?
For yesterday’s lunch I made myself a
tomato sandwich of sorts, filling it with Boursin softened with mayonnaise
which I can tell you tastes very good indeed. I ate some nubbly toast with it, quaffed some wine and wondered about
the rest of the tomato as I’d only used 2 slices.
By today I had come up with a plan ...
Fried Red Tomatoes (based very closely on Fried Green Tomatoes) but I couldn’t be bothered with flouring and egging so as I was making my Real Man a boiled ham and pease pudding sarnie (in truth about half a baguette) I dunked the tomato slices in the ham broth to help the panko crumbs stick and it worked a treat.
I imagine it is borage. I have had a jar of something in the corner
of the cupboard for about a year and occasionally I spot it and think “hmm”. This happened this morning so I decided to
get it out and investigate – it is some kind of seasoning containing Scottish
flowers so I had myself a sprinkle.
Slightly spicy, slightly salty, very pretty!
If you think that'must have been a big tomato - just look at this one I met in France!!
