As Spring rapidly approaches, a diogenite camouflages itself among flowering tomato plants all in a beautiful yellow-green color. A little known fact: Tunisians eat more tomatoes, per man, woman and child, than inhabitants of any other country on the planet! Not surprisingly, the vast majority of these Solanaceous fruits (plants "of the Sun" in the "nightshade" family) are peeled and cooked. This raw beefsteak Tatahouine has some skin still clinging (the way I like mine). Unlike most tomatoes which actually have glowing yellow skins, this one's is markedly darker! My inspiration was Alex Seidel's 10/19/2011 MPOD :-)
