Doing my veg seed order last night I realised what a mess catalogues are
when it comes to tomatoes, instead of grouping them in size etc. they are
all mixed together and it's not easy to find a "Proper" sized tomato for
sandwiches and salad use.
I don't want those little things which seem to predominate the lists.
It's surprising to see how the "Old Varieties" Alicante, etc. are still
around more than half a century after they were launched.

A few years ago there was a Tom in the catalogues called "Brigade" which was
normal sized but with dark red meaty flesh , bred for sauces, but they also
made perfect Toms for sandwiches as they didn't make the bread go soggy.
Sadly I have been unable to find it for the last few years.
