I will always tell them the names if they ask specifically, but the most common questions asked to me are:
1. What is the best tasting
My answer, Up to you.
2. I want a good tomato for sandwiches
A big one.
3. I want a low acid tomato - what do you recommend
Not that much difference it is the amount of sugar in the tomato that hides the acid.
4. I want a sweet tomato - what do you recommend
One with sugar on it.
5. Which tomatoes are best for cooking.
