Tomato Taste Test

Just tried oven drying some green toms, failed as i didn't oil the tray first, they all stuck. Taste ok though. Just thought i'd check out how to do it properly :dh:

 

There is that danger, Mrs tried the green tom relish & said that wont last long.

She moaned that i'd caught too many sprats when I came home with 27lb of them, after i'd smoked them & bottled them in olive oil, she was moaning that i'd not caught enough of them when they ran out in january.

Should have'd listened to mother, when we were at school, she used to call her contrary mary; I never understood, as her name is becky.

 

For a glut of ripe tomatoes - try homemade red tomato chutney.

 

Cheers for the Tea and Tomatoes this morning John, was great to meet you.

Just got home, having a rest before sorting out for work tommorow.

I have to say, all the toms are good, I think the floridity has the strongest flavour, followed by the yellow ones but they'll all be going in my sandwiches for tommorow:gnthb:

 

Update : Mrs just said the black ones are VERY good.

 

Sandwiches were lovely today :gnthb:

 

How about spam, spam, tomatoes and spam? That hasn't got much spam in it.

 

I had no idea they still made the stuff. As kids we used to dread going to Grandma's because she was obsessed with spam fritters. You had to eat them or else you got a five-hour lecture on all the poor starving people who would just love those greasy little rectangles. My sister got a bit feisty once and offered to post hers to someone who might better appreciate it. The aftermath wasn't pretty. Are you sure the in-laws weren't given a tin that some little old lady has been hoarding since the War?

 

I had my stag night in a huge house in Gomshall. My mates parents had been in hong cong for decades.

On getting the munchies in the middle of the night, I investigated the kitchen.

All the stuff in the cupboards was from the 1960s.

Made a just edible cake.
