These lovely tomatoes grew in a friend’s garden…
and nobody knows what they are.
Here’s one ripened up.
Here it is for scale.
Here’s the inside, about to go on a burger. Lots of seeds, quite strong skin, perfectly symmetrical from the middle line. Delicious too. Any idea what it could be?

I've grown lovely big tomatoes called Tomato Pantano Romnanesco and they have the kind of deep grooves you have in these. They are also recommended for frying. However, their shoulders are green rather than yellow.

Perhaps it's a Zapotec? http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.aspx?item_no=PS20717 Beautiful, whatever it is!

I grew a basic steak tomato last year and a couple of them looked jut like this! I figured it had something to do with watering vs. heat….? They were fabulous!
Meeling says

It was delicious alright. It's not a Zapotec, I've got those in both tomato gardens and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wattrandall/6063120013/in/photostream

Is it brandywine?

Not Brandywine – I have those in my garden and they don't get nearly that big and don't have those 'grooves'.
Your anonymous tomatoes look like the huge, grooved ones I saw recently at a friend's parents farm. She called them "field tomatoes". (doesn't sound like very technical, I know)
