Those are black tomatoes, she informed me. They don't turn totally red. Turn them upside down. If the bottoms are red, they're ripe. That's how you know they're ready to eat.

Black Tomatoes
A week ago I bought large green and red tomatoes at the Algonquin College vegetable stand, assuming that they were not-quite-ripe "beefsteak" tomatoes.
They haven't ripened yet, I told the vendor when I went back to buy more veggies a few days later.
Those are black tomatoes, she informed me. They don't turn totally red. Turn them upside down. If the bottoms are red, they're ripe. That's how you know they're ready to eat.
Oops! I guess these are ready - maybe even over-ready. Glad I asked!
