Here's my post about the Frittata Kitchen tomato:

Frittata Kitchen is a working title for a possible sport of the Bloody Butcher tomato. It's a great culinary tomato, including for frittatas—or at least, this year it is.

The first few replies in this thread are about the plant earlier this year; I originally referred to it as Bloody Butcher in those posts.

Here is my [Frittata Kitchen] tomato plant, so far, this year. I just thinned it, today. This is from the unusual fruit last year with firmer flesh and many locules; it may be a sport.

We got three ripe [Frittata Kitchen] tomatoes today. They do taste different than last year's [Bloody Butcher]; I like the difference. They seem a bit firmer, but not nearly as much as the parent fruit. The fruits are about the size and shape of regular Bloody Butcher tomatoes.

The fruits are really nice, this year! Plenty tart, in a way that is excellent in frittatas. It was super mild last year; so, it's a lot different. I wonder if it's a cross, a mutant, the year, or acclimatization. I definitely want to grow it again next year! I might grow multiple plants.
