They are red they look like tomatoes they just taste like nothing that’s what I mean. Those are available most of the time the other kind almost never

I know what you mean. I get to eat really good tomatoes every few years, and just for a few days, then they are gone.

The good stuff spoils pretty quickly, too. It's not just the price that makes them uncommon

Grow your own or make friends with someone that does. I have more than I can give away during peak season

when they're off season, is the flavor still better? no use using something that tastes worse and consoling yourself that it would have been tasty had it been a different month
