Aurora and Odessa are both intensely flavored tomatoes
with a traditional tomato flavor. Aurora is fairly
seedy, and the gel is perhaps responsible for its flavor.
They are both earlier than Vorlon, usually, and of
a more manageable size in a greenhouse. Since they
produce smaller tomatoes, they would not be as convenient
as Vorlon on a BLT, better for salad or fresh sliced tomatoes.

(I see Bloody Butcher in Tania's picture of Odessa, too.
It is earlier than Odessa or Aurora, typically among
the first in the garden to set fruit, and good flavored.
Gets to about 5' tall outdoors, with smaller fruit.)

None of these are sweet flavored tomatoes, but they
all have "good flavor". Bloody Butcher's flavor is not
as intense as the other two.
