Carolyn,
I grew Couilles de Taureau last year. It is a late season mater. I got the seeds from Roland Robin in France. He recieved the seeds from a gardening neighbor that was from Spain. When he asked his neighbor the name, his neighbor told him they were big like bull's b***s. So, Robin just called it what his Spanish neighbor called them. There is a Belgian variety by a very similar name but it is in the singular. Not the same variety.

Thanks Terry.

So Angelo got his seeds from a French friend and and you got yours from Roland in France and he got them from a neighbor who got them from someone in Spain and it was Roland who named the variety?

As I pointed out above there are other varieties with roughly the same kind of descriptive name, whether it's Bull Sac or Goat Bag, or whatever.

When I lived in Colorado that local part of male animal anatomy, whew, got out of that one,

were called Rocky Mountain oysters.

Having seed such bull parts sold in Spain I guess I'm qualified to determine if the tomato indeed resembles same.

Angelo, if you want to sell Thaisa commercially in shops/gardencenters, then you will have to get a license and it will cost several hundreds of Euros... You know, in the EU everything is regularized: "Sortenzulassung". That's the reason why we in Germany can only buy few varieties in shops. But if you trade by email, there's no problem because then it's the private way.
Looking forward for Thaisa next season!
