Any colour except blue.... although Salad blue potatoes are blue fleshed... which makes a rather interesting mash if you do Burgundy red in another pan at the same time... what happened to the photo?

Will be trying salad red + blue next year at OH's insistance

Yep the pics back Diana... I have a range of coloured toms... BTW the Italian for tomato means golden Apple... so the earliest ones brought back from the new world clearly were not reds...
;D

This is a ripe 'blue fruit', now blues are rarely blue in the world of veg but that is just ludicrous. Not even a hint of blue.

lol@amphibian, do you remember rose 'blue moon' (is it still available?) trumpeted in seed catalogues about 30 years ago, whatever you did it was still pinky purple when it bloomed >:( pah who wants a blue tom anyway ;)

Salad Blue makes nice chips too

Why are rose growers so obsessed with blue anyway? Old roses may have a restricted palette, but I can't see that they lose anything by it.
