OK, let's settle this!

Which tastes better, a red tomato or a pink tomato?

Simple.

Cuostralee is the best tasting tomato around.
Cuostralee is red.
Therefore, a red tomato is better!

Just to make sure that is not just one person's opinion... Do you have documentation to back that up?

Yes.

http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Hawken-H...merican+garden

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Cuostralee

http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/87637/

All three of these sites clearly list Cuostralee as a red tomato!

However, that buisness about it being the best tasting tomato around? That's blarney! ( or is it malarkey?) Everyone knows KBX is the best tasting tomato around. So orange is better! (or is it yellow?.......)

I second this suggestion. I grow tomatoes for size competition and Delicious holds the record for the worlds heaviest tomato at 7.76 LBS.

They taste fantastic as well.

I also grow Big Zac which is also known for it's ability to grow monsters. They taste great!!
