Woz, Marmande is a french tomato that you see at a lot of the markets in France. It is kind of an all purpose tomato I think. It is slightly ribbed although I have never heard it called "Costoluto Marmande (If it has been, Carolyn will know...) It has a real "typical" tomato flavor, tangy and not sweet. Woz, If you post on the "Varieties Wanted" thread, I am sure there are many here who will be glad to send you all the paste/sauce varieties we have been talking about. I know Australia can be a real PILL about seeds so I usually send them in a greeting card...my favorite is "Congratulations on your new arrival! I can't send seeds from Mexico because the Mexican post is a nightmare...My Son in Wyoming does not grow these varieties. Ask for Costoluto Genovese, Federle, Costoluto Fiorentino, Costoluto Parma, Chinese, Cows Tit, Romeo,
Costoluto Sel Valente. IF you get offers, ask them to send them in a greeting card...Aussie Post lets them go through unmolested. Mary
