If it tastes as bad as most of the super disease resistant tomatoes then I would rather do without. I'll wait for a bit and see if they are any good for fresh eating and if they actually withstand diseases as well as they are saying.

Since I fight a constant battle with fusarium wilt I went ahead and ordered Tasti-Lee seed because they are supposed to be tolerant of all 3 races of fusarium. I heard they were fairly decent tasting so I thought I would give them a try. So far the variety of tomato that has been most tolerant of fusarium has consistently been Big Beef. I have tried a lot of other so called tolerant varieties and they were either not very tolerant or were so inedible that it didn't matter. Some, but not many, of the heirloom varieties show more tolerance to fusarium than a lot of the hybrids.
