I think we need to put this Guido thing to rest. Here is a what Grunt had to say about Guildo Pietroboni which he is growing side by side with Guido.

"Well, they aren't three pounders (yet), and they definitely are not Guido's. Here are three photos of a 24.5 oz Guildo Petroboni, and one of a 17.5 oz Guido. I will get a photo of the plants shortly. It is even more vigorous than Guido, and about 25% larger so far."

And here is what Grunt had to say about Guildo and taste overall.

"Guildo is meaty enough to use as a paste, peels very easily, so would make a good canner, and tasty enough that there is nothing left of the total of 2 1/2 lbs that was prepared for a supper for four. Slightly sweet, tomatoey, and full flavored.
The Guido dies tomorrow."
