Tiny Tomatoes

Thursday, 19 March 2009

For most of my adult life I have been under the impression that the smallest tomatoes were cherry tomatoes... Today my beliefs have been crushed as our first tomatoes ripened to about the size of peas! When our tomato bush initially filled with beautifully cute green tomatoes of miniature proportions I was thrilled! I was sure it was only a matter of days or weeks before I was selling tomatoes by the kilo on the side of the road. This dream, however, was not to be. The little green tomatoes did not grow at all! They just ripened, reddened and while they smell and taste as a tomato should, it's hard to find enough to fill a spoon, let alone make spaghetti sauce! I have since discovered that these tiny tomato samples are actually 'red currant tomatoes'... Officially the world's smallest tomatoes!
