I have become a total tomato snob. The ones in the supermarket suck because they're bred to be shipped. They are pretty and red and solid, and they taste pretty much like their shipping containers.
During the summer, I can get real heirloom tomatoes, that have been bred for taste. They can be ugly, and even have sun scald on them. But they taste like tomatoes.
During the winter, I pretty much stick to canned tomatoes for sauces and such, and grape tomatoes (which ship OK naturally) if I really must have them fresh.
