Default Goat Bag

On a different forum, a few members are growing this, and some others think it may be the same thing as Cow's Tit. Anyone know the history of Goat Bag?

I have never heard of it but I have my research staff looking into it as we speak.
Here is one of them now.

Cow's Tit I know and have grown, cleverly named by Keith Mueller, not really that different from many long red pastes with a point at the end:

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/w...b=General_Info

As to Goat Bag, a Google search wasn't all that helpful Tania doesn't list it, so I went to may latest SSE Yearbook and I think this might well be it.

Have to type it out, darn.

Called Goat Tit and the history is very different from Cow's Tit, but the description of the fruits is about the same as is true for many tens of long reds usually used for paste, etc

indet, 4" long by 2 " wide, nipple on the end, nice dry flavor?, very productive

The other person listing it says:

75-80 days, large red Roma style with very good flavor, often shaped like its namesake, a goats udder, exl for fresh eating or cooking, red fruit but some could pass for dark pink ( I guess no epi check here), originally obtained in 1990 from a man in Milwaukee, OR, who received them from a lady who brought them from an unknown region of italy. Mayre Lee shared them with us several years ago.

I read a different story which was a dead end for the Google Search.

First the search;

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=goatbag+tomato

And now the different story from a link from above.

Want to be confused a bit more on history? No problem with fruit color /shape, and I'd forgotten I posted in the the thread below and had done a lot of background searching,

Worth, whatever are YOU doing with that book let alone the goat reading it?''

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Beekman+Boys

Just mentioning that at last year's Book Festival in Glens Falls, home of my fave hospital for fixing various parts of my body, they were the hit lecture/presentation with folks flocking in, all seats gone in the lecture room, etc.

And to think where they started from.

Sorry for going off topic Marsha, but it's Worth's fault, not mine, since I was obligated to respond.
