The one that is pulverized, spiced and/or cooked until it doesn't taste like raw tomato anymore.

I've planted:

Big Beef
Better Boy
Big Boy
Celebrity
Cherokee Purple
Creole
Early Girl


Big Beef produces and tastes the best for me. Some tomatoes > 1 lb.

I'm planting all Big Beef next week.

Had it explained to me years ago that a Creole tomato is one that is grown in the soils of the lower river parishes. The reason why that region is important is because the gulf of Mexico's salt plume doesn't normally move up the river much past there. Over millennia salt from the salt plume has dispersed into the soils. The tomato plants take up salt particles and the get concentrated in the tomatoes, giving them their characteristic "tanginess". Or so I was told.

I don't think anyone knows what a true Creole is.

+1 if you meant Brandywine.

-10 if it has something to do with Tom Brady.
