Larger Tomatoes With Real Taste

TomatoDon · February 11, 2006

We have a thread going about growing large tomatoes, but the taste factor was excluded by the poster. I agree with Craig and Carolyn, that taste should be the ultimate criteria. But I want to grow larger tomatoes than the Better Boy. I have never had luck with the larger varieties, size or taste.

Can anyone suggest their top three larger tomatoes that have that real tomato taste? I don't want to waste my time growing bland, mealy, throw-away tomatoes. This year I would really like to have some nice, big, tomato-ey slicers.
