Horrible Tomatoe, CHerokee Purple?

Mindyw3
12 years ago

I bought a tomato at whole foods that I thought was cherokee purple. After reading all the reviews of this tomatoe I was expecting it to be really great, sweet, interesting, complex. Instead I got a tomato that literally burned my hands while I was slicing it and tasted like tomato flavored mud on my zucchini pizza. Not even a hint of sweetness, a little bitterness, a strong "tomatoe" flavor, and extreme acidity. SO I took this off my grow list for next year but I'm wondering if it could have possibly been some other tomatoe that looks very similar. But, sadly, I'm quite certain it was a cherokee purple. Any thoughts?

Also, any sggestions? I prefer sweet, very sweet sugary tomatoes.
