Best tasting Beefsteak tomatoes

Isn't it strange how different people have different views. I can't stand Costoluto Fiorentino, I find them dry and too difficult to skin.

My real favourite is Summer Cider. Deep apricot colour and intense sweet taste.

However, its a good job we don't all like the same things 

If you want an easy skinning tom Amish Paste is my favourite large tomato although it's more of a plum than a beefsteak. Produced for bottling or canning ,easy to peel very few seeds and very good flavour !

I find that hard to skin toms are often thin skinned and do not need skinning in the first place !

Any excuse   

I agree with the Black Sea Man - it was a revelation when I grew it last year (thank you!) and it's top of my growing list now.

The other tomatoes included in the "Which" trial were:-
Beefeater, Brutus, Cuore di bue, Fandango, Mortgage lifter, Orange wellington, Pink Wonder, Black Russian, Brandy Boy, Brandywine, Super Marmande.

What does anybody consider an average number of beefsteak tomatoes to a plant?

My plans this year are to grow one plant each of about 25 different varieties and I'm beginning to wonder whether I'll be able to eat them all.

Sounds like you will be able to host Nottinghams own ' La Tomatina'..........

If mother nature does not throw a spanner in the works !

Depends on how much pasta you eat, I fill my small chest freezer with toms and peppers every year and still run out in January, and although I do not grow 25 different varieties I still grow at least 25 plants.
