Can You Identify This Tomato?
Does anyone recognize these cool tomatoes I encountered in a restaurant in Oaxaca?

I got to admire them while I enjoyed a cocktail garnished with a smoldering cinnamon stick. Doesn't get much more fun than that.

Hmmm. May have found a couple of likely candidates or at least something close

That Zapotec Oaxacan Ribbed baby bears a passing resemblance to the Inzhir Rozovti, of which we still have a few.

Tlacolula Pink is another heavily ribbed one from that area.

Re: Can You Identify This Tomato?
I saw some tomatoes that looked like these grown in a garden in Mexico.
It was a cooking show and the name of the tomatoes weren't mentioned other than heirloom or something.
Probably handed down for many generations.

Re: Can You Identify This Tomato?
I wouldn't be surprised if there were several old, possibly even unnamed, Zapotec varieties around there. Yours is purty, @Cornelius_Gotchberg but looks like it's got more of a neck to it, some of the Tlacolua pink look that way, too. Do the ZORs have the big open locules like the TPs do on this site? https://renaissancefarms.org/product/tl ... nk-tomato/
