Over here in the UK we do not seem to get such a variety and generally the tomatoes in many supermarkets are not up to much mostly watery and tasteless.
Wow, they look good! I agree with Paul - our supermarket shelve are pretty boring compared to your selection beautifully photographed. (I must confess that I say 'tomato' as the English do now... occasionally :)
cieldequimper - oh, now you know I had to have tomatoes with buffalo mozzarella, drizzled with olive oil! The only thing missing were olives and basil. A perfect summer meal :)
Adele - sounds so good, I wonder why it's been such a good tomato season, not that I'm complaining!
PerthDailyPhoto - haha, I went ahead and helped myself, drooling like a little baby the whole time!
Paul - I do remember the supermarket tomatoes there, though the US certainly has its share. (We likely engineered many a tasteless hybrid vegetable). We got very lucky with farms and farmers' markets so near.
Mo - the green ones are great! They've got almost a melon taste.
LOLfromPasa - thank you! Haha, I inadvertently say 'tomato' as the English do even now, despite being more permanently stateside for over a year! (It also happens sometimes with herb, basil, scone...:)
Dianne - the heirlooms taste so wonderful! I love your idea with having them thinly sliced, with some sea salt, delicious! I'll try that :)

Now they look like they taste so much better than the perfect supermarket ones!
You're making my mouth water! So? Olive oil and basil? With or without (buffalo) mozzarella? A few black olives perhaps?
;-)
Yum! Such pretty colors. We're having a great tomato season, too. Very flavorful.
Oh how great would they be in a caprese salad, I'm drooling just thinking about it haha!

I love those green ones, delicious every way.

I love these wonderful old heirloom varieties with SO much flavour .... I would slice them finely and sprinkle with sea salt .... delicious!

Once I was struck by the different names that potatoes have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato#Varieties
Suddenly I crave a tomato!
Valladolid - that is so funny!
EG CameraGirl - lol, tomato season is great :)
