I have grown a green tomato and found it very good and I could eat like a piece of fruit. Yes, I guy on this forum sent me a few seed. I have been careful to save seed. I have other green tomatoes like grape and green sausage.

When they do sheep it is called Rocky Mountain oysters and I guess they fry them to cook. They eat them. I have never been around it. But in the hills where it was done.

I gave DIL beautiful yellow tomatoes and she tossed them for the cooked canned salsa. I asked if she tasted them. Yeah. She sat there eating Romas. I did give away some at market for people to try. No. I will try things. One guy said he did not want to by stuff he never ate before as might not like it. Money I take was scarce for him. One day he argued how do you know that melon is ripe. I grabbed a knife and chopped in half and I said it is ripe. I gave him half. Muskmelon No one about seemed to know what Sugar baby watermelons were. I would slice an end off of one and set it up and cover it with plastic wrap to keep clean. One guy wanted the one cut , Fine. The cut one I would give away to another seller at the closing time if still there. Several did not have melons and we even traded around. People wanted Olathe corn. That is the highest priced seed. I did enjoy the people or at least most fo them.
