    They look superb to me. There's nothing wrong with green toms anyway. It seems its only us Brits that are obsessed with the idea that toms should be red. When I've been abroad on my hols, I've had many a salad featuring green toms and they were delicious.

    Then of course there's always chutney to fall back on.

    Just chuck them on a tray and cover with a few sheets of newpaper, they`ll soon ripen up.
    Don`t leave them on a windowsill though as they`ll go red outside and still be green inside
