Default I grew Afternoon Delight for its beauty....

... and all I got was a bunch of ugly tomatoes





They have a decent taste and might even get better, lots of big tomatoes on the plant, so nothing to complain here, but I'm so disappointed by the look

Since I'd never heard of it I had to search around and here's what I found.

I do have my close up glasses on and they look pretty much like the picture that you showed.

Yes, it's a new variety from Wildboarfarms and they do have the right color and shape but sooo much splitting and some are very misshaped on the bottom too with seeds showing on the outside

Beside that, I love the color but had to throw away some due to mold growing in the splitted fruits
