How do they taste? Is this the long keeper tomato?

Oooh, how cool! I don't know If I could eat it yet if it were mine. I might have to keep watching it to see how long it takes it to go bad.

But this year could be experiment time! Pick as many of them as you can next November and then eat one every two to four weeks, just to see how long they last while retaining a decent taste.

(Then collect plenty of seeds, because we'll all be foaming at the mouth to get them!)

I have only got the one tomato left , I noticed it at Christmas as i was picking through what was left from last years crop , so I brought in from the garage and started to keep an eye on it .
So the plan is to cut in half and taste it and keep what seeds I can and start sowing them .
As for the variety well in order of possibles as not sure what plant it came from
