We just whck them through the machine a couple of times add chopped onions, garlic, roast red peppers and chilli.  Quick whizz with teh magic and and we've got gazpacho.

Not all passata is created equal!
San Marzano are coming late (planted late) and what a difference in colour from the real McCoy :o

[Emagggie]

I have just ordered some San marzano, now I'm really excited. They obvoiusly lived up to the blurb then SS.

proof of the pudding eh maggie? just had to take the photo when I saw the diff!
I've ordered the F1 bush San Marzano from Franchi - not grown bush toms before, but hoping they'll be easier than cordons next year. Can't wait for the next squishing season either! ;D

[Emagggie]

Just had a hunt through my freezer and my squishing days will have to start soon ;D ;D

Looks rally good, I like some other bits in the catalogue too, do they have paper catalogues, as I prefer to look through proper catalogues?
I cant find anywhere on their website where you can request a catalogue.

No, its me!! Sorry!
I was following the Passata machine thread in Bargains by Tricia, and followed the link in the thread, and ended up posting to the old thread and not the new one!

I'm really confused  ??? ??? ??? ??? ::) What happened to Tim's post?

[MrsKP]

As fate would have it, I potted up 4 San Marzano plants today (obtained from Parce the Parcel 3).  Am so glad this thread was bumped as I've never read it before, and also received some of SS's Gigantes Beans in the post yesterday in a swap from a postee on another forum for some of Sarah's Pineapple Toms.

There's a whole new world out there that I'm just discovering, all of it touched by Supersprout. 

Am going back to the beginning of this thread to read it again.


 ;D

Anne - given the possibly sensitive nature of the thread, I thought it was a bit sharpish & withdrew it.

http://www.seedsofitaly.com/index.php Seed the red bit for catalogue info. Thanks Tim. I'm confused enough on my own11 ::)

While this post is here, I  have three of Supersprouts beans thanks to a super poster and I wanted more, I have now found a source  as I liked the look of them very much. I don't know where Sarah got them from originally because I searched all over,  the seeds were shipped four days ago so I am hoping they will be here soon. If anyone does know the original source I would be greatful just in case the ones I have bought are smaller.
