Hi Lee,

I always follow-up w/ taste reports.

Okay, how about an interim report for now, considering it's Friday night and all.

Livingston's Favorite: First couple of fruits were very good. I rated them as a 7.5/10, which on my scale is on par w/ Red Brandywine. The level of a very good tomato to me.

Having just eaten four more LFs, which is a lot of tomato, I might add that LF has jumped to a an 8.5/10. I don't re-rate this out of sympathy for anyone.

I left my Livingstone Faves on the vine till they gave a bit, like Earl says, and then we brought them inside and just ate them like mangoes.

LF has a very good balance between acid and sweet, has a lovely tomato flavour, is eye candy. Strangely, my partner thinks it looks like a bought tomato. Nothing too complex in tomato terms, just a really good prolific one.

Y'know what. It's on my shortlist for a return visit next season. CHeers, Grub
