I've grown them all, except for Goose Creek and Big Beef, and of course I'm indicating my opinion only based on where I grow tomatoes, but also for most of them the many areas in The US where they grow tomatoes.

Goose Creek
Germaid Red, a nice red but there others I prefer

Tidwell German , excellent very large pink beef, very good taste, excellent production for such a large fruited variety

Large Pink Bulgarian , large pink beef, one of my faves, outstanding taste and production

Grandfather Ashlock, another large pink beef, fruits up to 2# if happy, wonderful balanced taste and my production was always great but some other have said otherwise.

Bear Claw, another large pink beef, forgettable IMO b'c I think there are much better ones

Erica d'Australie, at last a red, nice red fruits, they seem to concentrate at the bottom of the plant, vigorous and usually good production with very good taste.

Olena Ukrainian, another large pink beefsteak, PL, excelllent taste, somewhat on the sweet side and production
is also good.

Big Beef

So where's the great reds? LOL

Nice to see that three of them are ones I introduced via SSE listings. Always good to see some of my tomato kids do well.

I can't comment more specifically about taste b'c that's a personal and perceptive trait and can vary widely amongst folks. And in addition, where a variety is grown, how it's grown, what amendments are used and what the weather is in any one season are also variables.

Thanks Carolyn, you helped a lot. Well Erica d'Australie is in because you are correct, I am overweight the big pink beefsteaks and should have a red. Also my mother was from Australia although it is a French tomato? I searched a little and could not understand how it got that name.
Now it is between
Tidwell German,
Large Pink Bulgarian,
Olena Ukrainian
for the last spot unless I cheat and plant more than two. Which of those is earliest? I think taste will be fine for any of them. I am not demanding on production but I do like a plant to be worth its space in my garden. More opinions please.

I've never grown it but Goose Creek gets rave reviews here from many growers.

I've done Grandfather Ashlock and wasn't at all impressed with its production. Many other varieties that are just as good and have better production.

Large Pink Bulgarian is a consistently good performer here and excellent taste to me.

Big Beef I passed on years ago. Just too many that are better.

It was first listed in the 1993 SSE YEarbook by both Bill M and myself, as D'Australie, not with the Erica, I don't know where that came from, and I think it was Bill who got it from Norbert in France in a huge seed trade we did with him in 1992.

the D' indicates it is from Australia.

Names for the same variety can exist in many forms

Serdste Buivola ( Russian) vs Bawole Cerce ( Polish) same pink heart, means Heart of the Buffalo.

Noire de Crimmee( French) vs Black Krim ( ENglish).

And I could go on and on. The language used for a variety name does not always indicate where the variety originated from.
