Horned Tomato

Is this normal? It's a Black Krim I picked from my garden today.

This is very normal; I see stuff like this all of the time. The folks at the store usually don’t put tomatoes out like this as people would think it had the plague or some such nonsense.

Nice looking tomato!

I am acutally hoping I get stuff like that out of my garden this year. Make people wonder about my secret gardening practices!

PS did the black krim taste great? I love them in pasta sauce!

Check out my avatar. The picture is of a tomato I grew last year, probably an early girl. This little tomato created quite a discussion around the house. We just told the kids it was a funny tomato. Adults had other ideas.

Hi,

Thanks for all the responses. At least I now know it's not unusual to find a horned tomato. It was a talking point in the family though as nobody ever saw such a funny tomato.

The black krim tasted sweet but nothing outstanding when eating them fresh. I can't detect the smokey or salty flavours I've read about. The black krim also tasted exactly like the Paul Robeson plant I also had.

The two black krim plants I had produced lots of fruits so I ended up making tomato sauce out of them and they tasted great, much more sweeter and yummy when cooked. I will just make sauce from black krim from now on.

Cheers

Sounds like a good idea Anh. I grew one plant last year and liked it a lot. I did end up using some in a sauce but that was along with lots of other varieties.

Not to say this is normal, but I have seen this before
