Yes, I know, I just derailed this thread. Everyone can pile on now and tell me about how fabulous ______ variety of tomato tastes.
Joseph, I'm with you. I've called myself "tomato taste-impaired" as I often can't taste the goodness others claim to find in tomatoes. But maybe folks like us just have "extremely discriminating tomato palates".
