Tomatoes picked straight from the vine have a totally different flavour from the tasteless ones you get in the shops. And if the sun has been on them & they are slightly warm they are even better! Sometimes out of season I go & sniff the air in my greenhouse where the smell is concentrated. Does that make me a bit strange?
I love growing cherry tomato varieties too, but very few of those end up in my kitchen as I pick them whilst I'm out & about.
