Favorite tomatoes for sauce?

I made tomato sauce once when we first moved to Cape Cod. My neighbors were
moving out and they dumped a whole wheelbarrow full of tomatoes on my
doorstep. They were moving. This was military housing and the rule was
that if you had a garden, you had to put it back to grass (the way it was)
before you moved out. So they gifted me the tomatoes. I was home alone at
the time. Husband was overseas. These were not sauce tomatoes. I also
didn't know that it wasn't safe to eat what was grown in that soil because
of the chlordane.

I had few cookbooks at the time. Hadn't started collecting them yet. And
had no Internet. The only sauce recipe I had came from some 1940's book. It
wasn't an Italian sauce. I can't remember all of the particulars of it but
it had milk in it, and maybe butter. The end result was pink.

My previous attempts at canning were dismal. I have since learned more and
have successfully canned things. But I wasn't about to try it with this
sauce and Lordy I had a ton of it! So I made it all up and I froze it.

We ate it with pasta and it was good. Husband is Italian. He had no
complaints. And I lived to tell about it.

I don't even flour polenta to fry it up.

For pasta sauce, it has to be vine-ripened tomatos.

For 'blow-your-nose' sauce, either Roma tomatos, or just some nice ripe
'ordinary' types. There's a whole whack of seasonoings going in the 'blow-
your-nose' so having the lovely flavour of vine ripened is a waste.

Corn spikes me something terrible - very high glycemic index. I am not on
insulin but I wold think it would help manage the spikes if I were. I do
know you are not supposed to treat insulin as a cure and eat whatever you
want.

WTF has that got to do with tomatoes ?

The best tomatoes for sauce which you might get in the USA
would be San Marzano tomatoes.

She starts talking about various canned tomato brands, then segues
into pizza ingredients. Pomi's tetra-brik package is widely available
in the US.


If San Marzano tomatoes are the best, then why does my toothpaste tube
of Tomatenmark (useful when a recipe calls for a teaspoon or
tablespoon of tomato paste) call itself Oro di Parma?

Thanks, Lehr's is a lot closer than going all the way down to
Lunardi's.

Eek! No, I meant tomato paste in a tube at the German store.

Do you live near an Andronico's? They should have it, but I can't
swear to it.

Oh, okay... I was wondering what an Italian tomato product would be
doing in a German store. :)


Not what I'd consider "close", but there is one in town. I am going
soon for another reason and will try to remember to look at their
canned tomatoes too. Thanks.
