Acid? My wife says "Mortgage Lifter" tomatos (Heirloom) are too "acidy". From what I have read they are one of the least in acid content and a real nice size tomato.Anyone got a comment?

How about no mayo at all. That is some nasty stuff.You had me until you said hellman's mayo. Its Blueplate mayo or no mayo!

To be honest friend, I've never tried Dukes, or Blueplate. I have heard it sparks fierce debates in some circles. I will say I'm not a fan of miracle whip.Guess it's like chocolate vs vanilla. But, for me, Dukes is better suited to tomatoes.
I suspect Miracle Whip is a refinery byproduct.
As a kid would carry a salt shaker to the garden and munch on a tomato like it was an apple.
I still do that, either salt shaker or Tajin. Miracle whip was a cheap alternative to mayonnaise created in the depression era (I watch too much history channel).
I have grown them for several years here in Indiana. They do get big and are tasty. We don't think they are high in acid. The one big problem with heirloom tomatoes is when they get close to being ripe pick them then , they over ripe real fast and go bad. Second is the plant dies early .

I am tempted to possibly try and grow one or two Mortgage Lifters this season yet but it is kind of late for seeds. If not for the fruit it would be to update my seeds. Plus I have no more room in the full sun.
I had to Google that, thanks

I bet you read the story behind that tomato. How "Radiator Charlie" paid off his mortgage by selling those particular tomato plants. Interesting story and a good tomato.

Yes I did. I love to read. Love a good story.
Bama or Duke's mayo.You had me until you said hellman's mayo. Its Blueplate mayo or no mayo!
I am surprised they were able to market that stuff.
I kinda figured I would've started a dialogue over mayo preference. Not a bad thing, just means our fresh off the vine mater sammiches are something we all take seriously. Even though some of you guys are using the wrong mayo (sorry, couldn't resist).Actually I prefer my bread in the form of a stale homemade biscuit. Maybe we should wait until someone posts his first ripe mater and then fire up a thread on this topic.

I don't have the discipline to leave any biscuits behind. I have a buddy that's a shade tree bee keeper, and warm from the oven biscuits with butter and honey would be my on list for my last meal on earth.
Please don’t get me started on the drowning of biscuits with the "Nectar of the gods" .

Any mayo would be the wrong mayo. Y'all are ruining the flavor of the tomato. Tomatos taste great by themselves, they don't need any help from mayo.
