But first let us begin with the discretionary note that I hope all of you rich non donors die of some sudden painful illness where you get to see demons coming to drag you away, and your corpse is gnawed upon by ugly little ratty dogs named Bobamer and rats poo on your bones.
With that said, I have results of the Burpee Table Talk I grew and I can say without a doubt that saying Table Talk is much more fun than eating them. I now now why this tomatoe from 1943 is not grown....for me the plants grew huge, but produced absolutely a few fruit.
The fruit is really seedy but seeds easily when sliced in half.....that is the good point.
Bad point is this tomatoe tastes like a rotten tomatoe. It is worse than that musty Brandywine thing that idiots say is "smokey" when that is the taste of an old earth musty root cellar, as I know that from my Grampas who had one, and it stunk just like Brandywine's taste.
Is why my cousin Kurt bit into one and threw it away with a YUCK when I was 7.
Where was I?
Yes Table Talk tastes the flavor of rotten. Some people like garlic in meat because that is what rotten meat tastes like, so maybe some people like the flavor of moldy rotten tomatoe flesh, but I do not.
Odd thing is, is that after you eat on them for too long, they do have an aftertaste that is quite sweet and fresh. Absolutely bonzai mystery in that one though, and I do not care to grow these again.
Was fun though, but the fantasy fell really far short or the rotten reality.
Compared to my Big Boys, which produced quite a few tomatoes in my horrid growing weather, it was interesting to see just a few Table Talk set on and so many Big Boys.
All quite sad as was the first time I ever wanted a no flavor tomatoe like those Fantastic things which are horrid as no flavor was better than rotten flavor.
Oh and maybe it is good in no rotten aftertaste as then people who like that, can enjoy rotten taste with no after taste as most rotten things have a stink which will not wear off.
I think I will not be maybe growing any more trials on tomatoes, as I know I like red fig, Big Boy, Rose and my paste tomatoe......there is one called Backfield which is very nice in sweet and rich tomatoe flavor and that Krim does great in melding musty, sweet, tomatoe all in one.......that Azoykcha from Russia was ok for a yellow....plants smelled of citrus which was really neat, but I think that is about it on exploring until I do something stupid like ordering seeds or someone gives me a sample and I end up growing them.
Will leave it at this........
I hope you rich non donors of hundreds of thousands of dollars all smell and taste like Table Talk Tomatoes.....will be really appealing to ratty little dogs gnawing on you, and it amuses me to a grin now in seeing some ratty little dog growling and chewing on your fat deposits as rats squeak squeak squeak over your bones.
Odd Burpees didn't go bankrupt in selling something that decomposing in flavor to trusting customers.
