This simple story of making a sandwich has left me wondering I was going to make a BLT tonight for supper. Below is 2 pictures of the tomato I was going to use.
Normal looking tomato, red and firm, Looks great right?

Now, my mother (80 years old ) was raised on a farm, and has seen many a tomato. So when she cut this one open and said "What the hell is that" I felt summoned to look.

My first reaction was worms because I have never seen anything like that in a tomato before and I have seen my share.
My second guess was that the seeds had sprouted inside the fruit. Now I am left wondering what kind of tomato it is and where did it come from. Is this some new genetically modified test tube experiment we are all testing without our knowledge or have I just been unlucky all my life and never seen the full extent of nature at work ? I thought I had seen about all you could see inside a tomato. This is not a shocking thing but VERY unusual in my world of nature. I would have bet 100s that this was not possible. Maybe in a rotten one or maybe this is the new face of rotten. In which case how do you tell at the store ? I have to get someplace where I can grow all my own food again soon :<0)
