I saw that the lawsuit is taking place in California, which tells me it's probably silly. The people there might want to sue about the whole fire burning down LA or the fraud among healthcare or the fake train line. But people with the money for lawyers aren't always concerned with the things that really matter. 🤷♂️
Eh, I've had food made with marzano tomatoes, and it was delicious. Of course, the cook probably would have done just as well with home-grown Kentucky maters or Del Monte from Kroger. She was that good.
The few people I've talked to about these things, because I was thinking of splurging, admitted that the differences between middle of the road consumer tomatoes and these are pretty subtle.
I think this is a case of 'back in the day, the stuff you got at the A&P was truly terrible, so these really stood out. Now, most stuff on the general market is pretty good, so usually it's not worth the extra $$$, but everybody's nona used these, so we use them.'
With the BS labeling rules that allow chemical soup to be labeled "real food", one wonders why San Marzano anything is worth more than Del Monte. Most people are more aware of the cook's ability than the brand of ingredient.
I’d guess the people who can actually taste the difference are few. Most folks convince themselves it tastes better because it cost more. But if they are falsely advertising that’s a problem that should be remedied.
The lawsuit is about honesty. If the grocers were selling politics instead of produce, they'd never have to worry about liability....

Toe-may-toe, Toe-mah-toe, Demi Lovato. I don't care.
I think we're going to plant some of that variety at some point.
