I think I'll eat my first couple blind folded so I'm not influenced by what I see. Reminds me of a similar story about red peppers. I once took some of my best & sweetest red peppers to a friend and told her & her husband that these were very sweet peppers. A week later I asked how they liked them and found out they threw them out cause in their mind all red peppers were hot. So I think I am also biased about different colors of tomatoes in a similar way. Hopefully I can break my prejudice & bias by educating myself & not limiting myself to my favorite type of tomato which is a pink beefsteak. Ignorance is not a good thing and hopefully I'll be a little less ignorant by the end of the 2021 growing season.

I grow one GG every year, and they are very good. We also used it as breeding stock and got good results and cool twists with segregated families.
