Magical Italian Tomatoes

This is the prettiest tomato we have found in Corniglia. The ones we have already eaten bulged out in odd places and had worrisome dark spots. But so tasty! When you simmer them for a while with olive oil and fresh basil they get creamy.

We’re a little afraid to eat this “pretty” one today. It has the waxy, tasteless look of a tomato back home. Perhaps we will go back to the market and trade it for an uglier one.

(Also, we’re a little in love with these fish plates.)
