Rosada and Floridity

by Sally on September 8, 2010

Oh dear. Even more inarticulate taste buds today! I’ve looked back at my notes (made only yesterday!) and for both varieties they read : ‘ nice skin, nice flavour’ ! With the word ‘juicy’ next to Floridity but not Rosada. But I wouldn’ take that to mean too much !

The shapes are different ! Floridity is a ‘pointy’ plum – skinny and long, and very even in shape. Rosada is more uneven, undulating even, with a cute dimpled bottom.

If I had to choose between the two, I would probably go for Floridity, but only by a Calyx whisker.

they look beautifully juicy. do you think eating dimply bottomed tomatoes would make your cellulite worse?! i’ve had to google calyx whisker!

Absolutely not ! Given that tomatoes seem to be a health miracle worker for all sorts of things I can only think they’d make it better !!
If my chutney making doesn’ work out – may be I can whizz it up in a blender and see if I can’t turn it into a fortune-creating miracle ‘dimple curing ointment’ !

Did you find anything under Calyx Whisker !? I made it up to the give poor cats and their whiskers a rest ! But now I’m inspired – so far I’ve got to Calyx Whisper – George Michael’s tribute to how growing tomatoes turned his life around……

And Calyx Jane … the Trusswood Stage is a-coming on over the hill….

If only I didn’t think it would get released ‘straight to bird scarer’ format I’d do a CD !
