Over decades, shop tomatoes have gradually lost flavour to the point where
almost all sold in the UK are completely tasteless. So then came vine tomatoes - toms still
attached to their twig. They were more expensive - but at least they possessed a
hint of flavour. Now - they too are just as tasteless as anything else. SO. Why is it that I
can go to any market in Spain and purchase the most unpromising looking fruits -
often at little more than a euro a kilo - and they are bursting with
flavour?
