Default Kellogg's Breakfast and Large Yellow Amish

I ate my first Kellogg's Breakfast from my patch this week and really liked it. Today I was in Amish country and stopped by a friend's stand who was selling large yellow tomatoes. They looked a lot like Kellogg's Breakfast and I asked him what they were. He said they were just an old Amish tomato they had grown for years, and that they saved seeds and kept it going that way. I asked more about it, but he always said the same thing and that it was a "non acid" tomato. That seemed important to him and how he described it.

I came home and ate one. Looked and tasted a lot like Kellogg's Breakfast to me. It was a very good tomato, and it was tart and "acidic" the way I like them. I couldn't detect any lack of "acid" as he described it. I expected it to be almost sweet, but it wasn't. It was a good, large, yellow, and tangy tomato.

I looked it up and found that there is indeed a "Large Yellow Amish" tomato. It's listed in some of the seed catalogs. Do any of you grow it, and have you compared it to Kellogg's Breaskfast? They look and taste very similar to me and I was interested in getting more feedback from the growers and consumers here.

Thanks!

DS
