If you are the sort of person who thinks that all tomatoes ought to be perfectly round, regular and blemish-free, then this post is not for you!
This tomato would pass the supermarket selector’s test! Its an “Orkado” (no, not Ocado!)
Whilst chopping up a mountain of tomatoes the other day, it struck me that if you are making tomato sauce it makes no difference what shape your tomato is, since it is going to get pulped anyway.
I have put together a little collection of photos showing some tomatoes that are perhaps not what most people would consider beautiful. Which one do you think takes the prize for being the ugliest?:
The first contender is “Russian Black”
Next is “Red Pear”
Then there is this “Cherokee Purple” one
Maybe this double-decker “Zapotec Pleated”?
If you think those ones are oddly-shaped or ugly, wait till you see the REALLY ugly ones…

| “Russian Black” |
 |
| “Red Pear” – sticking its tongue out! |

This is how they will all end up though:
