T is for TOMATO

In March this year I was served a tomato salad. At the time I posted a story about that here. (Scroll back to 11 March if you must.) I wrote that the salad was "almost life-changing."

Thanks Darren Lovell for sharing your tomatoes from the Fishbone Farm. There were about fifteen varieties of tomato, all chopped up and dressed with a mixture of pounded basil, some salt-cured anchovies and some fine extra virgin olive oil. Absolute bliss, and if anyone, anywhere, anytime has ever had a finer tomato salad I don't believe them!

Look for his tomatoes on the menu at Fishbone in Queenstown later this summer. They are worth the plane fare to Queenstown, I guarantee.
