    The commercial Roma tomatoes are awful in taste and texture.

    Budyonovki for example have a very different texture. Not squeaky but soft like a very ripe pear.

      I have never had a desire to explore the numerous cultivars or varieties of tomatoes to determine if one was not going to make me vomit. Blind testing seems like a masochistic exercise now that I think of it.

      With your description though, I might try a Budyonovki tomato (I assume Budenovka / Будёновка) if I am ever presented with one.

      Thank you for the tip.

        Hey, I didn’t mean to pressure you into anything. It must be really tough with a reaction like this, wish you all the best.
