Best tasting tomatoe?

I was not impressed with the taste of my errorlooms this year. I am looking for the best tasting slicer tomatoe. Any suggestions.

It never hurts to ask the question again and get fresh input re which heirloom tomatoes people like best. But if you type best tasting tomato in to the Keyword box that comes up when you click on Search the Forum (in the black horizontal menu above), you will get currently 77 hits, several of which are long discussions of people's favorite tomatoes.

I will just add that, soil, climate, fertilizer and watering will affect taste.

Dan Quayle had trouble spelling potato. Quite a few of us here are tomato challenged from time to time, and in many ways.

My wife and I have been totally in love with various blacks for the past couple of years. They now make up the majority of our tomato planting.

.

Actually, Dan Quayle read the misspelled word from a cue-card prepared by a teacher, then said the word was spelled wrong, and the teacher disagreed.


After all of these years, folks are still repeating the socialist media propaganda :roll:

I don't usually grow a lot of heirlooms, but I will say the Pink Berkeley Tie Die, which we got in the HG tomato seed giveaway this spring, was a wonderful tomato. Delicious tomatoes on a huge, bushy, very productive plant.

Brandywine and Black Krim have reputations as very good tasting tomatoes, though Brandywine's reputation is also not very productive.

@ Hendi, The reason for the e on the end of tomatoe is because I have a metric keyboard. :)
But thanks for the input everyone. I noticed the latest round of tomato's on my bloody butcher plant are much bigger and the later maters are redder and more tasty. Some of the fruits tasted rotten at picking time and has an iridescent look to them. It was a harch environment this summer and probably has as much to do with it as possible. But I think I will be planting more hybrids this next year. I have a very confined garden and can not move my plants around much in order to keep diseases down. My thinking anyway. One of the best for Kansas is jetstar. However I have overlooked it the past couple of years.
