Now I'm not sure if they're the same thing, but I've been buying some from Lidl recently that describe themselves as 'cocktail' tomatoes ... they're somewhat bigger than the really small cherry tomatoes you get but not as big as the standard type, maybe about 3cm in diameter. Does anybody know what variety these might be, or are they just another cherry variety that's merely been allowed to grow a little larger before picking?
