I'm looking at planting a couple of tomatoes in the last remaining space of my setup. I know there are same great tasting tomoato varieties, especially looking in the Eden seeds catalogue. I thought I'd ask in here for personal experience/suggestions. So, what do you think is the best tasting tomato?

I'll tell you in a month. I've got 2 black tomatoes and people keep telling me they are better than the red's. Only time and a couple of bits of bread will tell.

Black Russian and the other one.

Duff!!
Purple Russian & Black Crim ???
I grew these last year, 1 had a fairly thick skin (not sure which) They were good for a tomato and onion salad giving colour contast.

Depends on how you want to eat the Tomato.
Roma's are great for sauces,
Tommy Toes, Truss and Cherry's are good for a tossed salad,
Beefcake/eater?? are good for frying up with eggs and bacon.

I had a tomato come up in the dirt herb garden, not sure the type but was the best tasting sandwich tomato I have had in years, kept the seed no idea the type, kept fruiting for months after all the other tomatoes were dead and composted.

I grew some black russian last season and was not impressed by the taste. To me, tasted a bit off. Might have just been mine though :-/

my black russians taste great , theyre in the dirt though , not in the AP

tommy toms were voted best overaal tomatoe, over 4500 people surveyed

Baby red pair, Black K... something darn my handwriting is bad. Not sure of the type in the dirt garden but I know there are two different ones.

If you have problems with the thicker skin try one of those V slicers. We had one for the cafe and after we sold it we got another one for home. Never use a knife after you play with one of those.
WARNING THEY DO CUT THE FRACK OUT OF YOUR HANDS PLEASE USE THE GUIDE(FINGER GUARD)

Just got given a kumato (dark skin) from Woolies. Seems they are from the galapogos. Will try it tomorrow.
