Living in the Pac NW, we don't have much in the way of "tomato
Summers". There are varieties of tomatoes that are grown here with
some success, but nothing can come close to the Big Boy tomatoes we
grew in the garden where I grew up in the South.
The tomatoes were so big that one slice covered the whole slice of
bread. They were so juicy and sweet you could eat them right off the
vine like an apple. My favorite Summer sandwich was a thick slice
of Big Boy tomato and mayo on white bread, and maybe a slice of cheese
to go with it. Had to put salt and pepper on the tomato though.
