Good grief!  That's ugly. :glasses9:

Probably very tasty indeed -  but you might have to skin it to get rid of the corky bits  :wave:

I usually go for the ugly tomatoes at the market as they tend to have more flavour!  You will probably have to attack it with a paring knife but I can imagine it, chopped with cucumber, basil, salt pepper and a dash of olive oil, delicious.  I am sure that some ugly ones will come along my way! I have a Marmande growing and they always make a few with weird shapes.

Yum, yes that's just about what I did, but with a little Feta crumbled over the top - delish  :happy7:

Blimey, what a corker Nick, looks like it didn't know when to stop growing. Perhaps something lives in the middle of it!!!!!
