Striped Roman

Grub · April 4, 2007

I grew Speckled Roman for the first time this past season and thought they tasted really good, better than most other novelties, with a meaty paste-like texture but no flouriness, and a good tomato taste that had some zip. The spindly RL plant, typical of pastes, was very hardy and suprisingly productive. Colleagues loved the appearance of Speckled Roman. The frutis caught the eye amongst an array of heirlooms of all different shapes and colours sitting on the lunch table. 7.5/10.
