Grandma lived in the country and made tomato dumplings for us when we had family gatherings she was a good cook and I loved her dumplings most of all! What I think is important as I consider the old tomato varieties is that someone thought they had some good qualities and made attempts to save seed. Many were shared with family, friends and others. Each time I discover a variety like one of these, it is like discovering a "lost" treasure. The growing and the tasting reminds me of blissful summers and cold winters when soups and sauces warmed the heart bringing back memories of boyhood days long ago. Perhaps growing an heirloom tomato or making the Tomato Dumplings will
rekindle “memories” of your days long ago. Gary
