real creoles are grown in nutrient rich soil in the river parishes. but LSU developed something that grows down here and called it "creole" so now everyone thinks they are growing creole tomoatos

There used to be a distinct flavor to Creoles, but I have yet to taste a "Creole" tomato since before Katrina with that distinctive flavor. Saddens me.

About 3 weeks or so before K, I'd found a farm in St Bernard which shipped Creole tomatoes. I order two cases at varying degrees of ripeness, most were green so they would ripen over time and so on. They were DELICIOUS. Haven't had that flavor since.

Not much different in a Creole and a Celebrity that I've found. Both excellent hybrids.

Regular tomatoes don't go in gumbo

Creole tomatoes don't go in gumbo either
