I am Croatian, and I know exactly what the article is referring to. So much that we decided to grow our own tomatoes this year.
The imported junk we get from Netherlands is abysmal compared to anything grown locally, and the reality is that we want the good stuff for ourselves, not the tourists.
We were very lucky to have a great harvest of cherry, monte carlo, and plum tomatoes this year, all of which serve a different purpose:
- Cherry for salads and side dish
- Monte Carlo for cooking
- Plum tomatoes for everything in between
Croatia has incredible food, especially the local, homegrown stuff, and it is well worth the effort to get it.
