Picked these Beauties yesterday, haven't tried them yet, they need to ripen a bit. I also picked some other varieties that were ripe pictured below.

Just curious where you got the seeds since Tania lists no sources.

Neil, another person from IL (see above link) said hollow and good for stuffing. And I was a bit surprised that it's from the UK.

Google didn't help me much either.Bad Google.

Very pretty, but do they have the broken ugly butt thing?

Got them in a swap from BigVanVader, they don't appear to be hollow, I'll find out in a day or so and will comment on their taste. I will also ferment plenty of seeds, as the plants were huge with lots of tomatoes.

Nope they are just as pretty on the bottom.

Beautiful toms!

BigVanVader · July 21, 2016

Glad they are doing well for you. My Goldmans IA have been hit hard with disease but I have got a few tomatoes from them. The few I picked already I used in salsa. They were hollow and all the seeds in a ball in the middle which is very convenient for processing. I haven't ate one fresh yet as the ones I picked had a lot of blemishes but some nice ones on the plant now. Thanks again!

They are beauties!

pmcgrady · July 21, 2016

Ok they are ripe, not hollow except for a couple little pockets. Taste is kinda bland to me, but we have had a lot of rain which might have watered down the taste.

Yeah EB and grey mold and BER hit me all at once, now I'm seeing tomato horn worm damage on a few plants. Hope the ones on the plant turn out better. Strange weather this year.

Germans know this variety under Shoene von Lothringen name.
Russian speaking gardeners use the name Лотарингская Красавица (Lothringen Beauty).
It is named after French region with the name Lorraine in French and Lothringen in German.

So you better use Lothringen Beauty or Beauty of Lorraine name.

A beauty, but hollow...

Bland flavor and hollow/stuffer seems to imply it might be one of those ruffled pastes that needs to be cooked to bring out it's flavor. Very pretty, though.
