When sliced it was a tomato to behold. The green/brown streaks carried through to the flesh inside with spots of dark red to make things more delicious looking. I ate it without taking a picture! Sorry. It was sweet, slightly tangy, very flavorful, not a hint mealy or punky. The good news? There are more ripening that will grace our table before frost!
These equally ugly true lemon cukes made a great snack plate with some hummus and buttered toast. The only thing missing for a real feast was some feta cheese and olives. Except I could have ate just the tomato.
Black krims are going to be on the menu next summer for sure. Happy eatings.

Sometimes it's the ugly fruit that tastes the best :D I'm so jealous of your yummy harvest.
P.S. Stop making me salivate!!
They look like Black Russians which I grew a few times. They too had a delicious flavour.
OH! They're gorgeous! Since I've moved to the South I can't seem to grow much of anything and there's actually 3 seasons here! Darn! But I take heart every time I visit your blog! Thanks....I'm taking notes!
