Very nice. My Cowlick's produced decent but where outclassed in production by the ones I mentioned. Now if I where to go on taste alone not only would Cowlick's be there but so would Stump of the World, Earl's Faux and Giant Italian Paste.

Thanks Klorentz.
About Giant Italian paste, do you eat it raw? And like the taste? I ask because pastes don't typically develop the flavor until cooked. |

Chocolate Stripes is an excellent tomato. It is a good producer and has an excellent flavor. It does well considering the heat and humidity here. We plant it every year.

I noticed that about most past tomatoes but not Giant Italian Paste. When I took the first bite I was shocked. To me the taste screams Italy . To me this is something you would want in a paste tomato. Perfect for any Italian dish that calls for tomatoes. Fresh or cooked.

All opinions are worth exactly as much as the paper they are written on.
Mexico vs Box Car Willie is not even a competition. Box Car Willie tastes like a tomato where Mexico is bland. Production of Mexico is good to very good. Production of Box Car Willie is also good to very good. |

![]() http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Mexico And similar comments about Mexico and taste in my current SSE Yearbook. However, I do like Box Car Willie better as well as several others that Joe Bratka's father bred, Mule Team, yes, but especially Red Barn, and here's Box Car Willie: http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Box_Car_Willie Hope the above helps, Carolyn
