Ever have black tomatoes?

We have them in our specialty groceries and they cost you your first born child but after all the recommendations I'm going to buy just one, serve it in a salad, and then look for seeds online. I can remember when bean sprouts were considered "exotic" and you could only get them from a tasteless, sodium bomb of a can. Glad to hear that they are delicous!!

For those of you interested in heirloom vegetables (& flowers, etc., etc.), here's the website for Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. They're a TERRIFIC company to do business with - orders arrive promptly, any errors are corrected promptly as well, & they always send a couple of interesting "bonus" seed packs to try. Their print catalog is lovely - lots of photographs & info on all the exotic produce!! I can definitely recommend them.
