The Gotch throws down the gauntlet; in a Perfect World, this Mushroom Basket Heirloom would put him in the lead.
Please note the
Black Hole @05:00, a thin rotted lobe @08:00, and a juicy yuckey rotten lobe @10:00

The other side: Leprosy...?

Yer too kind. Seriously, have you's ever seen a leprotic Tomato, before?
Anywho, if the contest ended today, The Gotch brings home the
Gold...?

I saw this one today, that I couldn't believe was actually one tomato!
Yoikes! I'm surprised you'd didn't turn to stone...or a Salt Pillar.

Are you sandbagging again @Cornelius_Gotchberg? That is NORMAL for Mushroom Basket. In it's little family it would be beautiful.

Sandbagging...moî...? No ma'am, that is beyond the realm of possibility; my experience with Mushroom Basket, until recently, has included neither rotted ribs/lobes nor leprosy.

With this here Big Bubba, and the leprotic Mushroom Basket above, The Gotch should be dusting off a place for that Ham/SPAM Award.
Just one photo wouldn't accurately depict its frightful disfigurement:

They'll look beautiful in a jar of sauce! And they'll sit better in your stomach, and taste better, than anything you'll find on your average store shelf. Those may LOOK perfect, but the taste is hideous! I vote for store-bought maters as the ugliest tomato!

All, including the Kisser/Moon Shot, were cut up and have been draining overnight for the lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch's famed
Jenny's Tomato Breads; can't hardly wait!
She substitutes a baguette for the french bread:

Heh! A back-handed compliment for the ages! When the subject of Ugly Tomatoes arises,
WESconsin deserves mention!
Them there Uglies made some right fine Jenny's Tomato Breads!
