Well, you know, I'm a Moneymaker fan, cos:
- they grow like mad
- crop well
- and whilst it wouldn't be my choice variety (taste-wise) to eat raw, once roasted in a moderate oven with small sweet home grown shallots, fresh garlic, courgettes and herbs (marjoram for me!) in a good olive oil and seasoned with black pepper and sea salt they are wunderbar! Serve warm with crusty bread for mopping up the juices...mmmm
My vote for flavour goes to Brandywine, Marmande and Sun Belle

I am growing Santa toms, and only those. If they work out ok, might try some different ones next year.

The only 'cons' for Santa are that they don't lend themselves to grilling, baking or stuffing. But in every other way they are ace!
Early, good flavour & solid 'meat'. And, frozen, just chuck them in casseroles & they stay intact or, as they thaw, just slip the skins off. V convenient. Can't grow enough for the children. = Tim

Marmande, Sweet Million, Beefsteak, Gardeners Delight, Tom Thumb hanging basket, Robin, Money Maker and 2 Dutch nameless ones. I have 15 plants outside and it looks like more will end up there!

Tim, don't go much for the grilling, baking, or stuffing, so I think I will be happy. Salads, salads, and more salads, and if I get enough, a bit of pasta sauce. ;D
