Tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes are native to the Americas. That means that before Transatlantic trade, there were no hot peppers in China, no potatoes in Ireland, and not tomatoes in Italy.
That’s why if you ask someone in Bologna how much tomato to add to your Bolognese they will chase you out of town with a kitchen knife.
What did they use instead?
Tomaytos.
Oh hey is that like the Irish stew with Potaytoes instead of Potahtoes?
Just gotta let the meats dissolve
I can see a deadly link for nightshade for a few of them (like when potatoes turn green) but I’ve never heard of poisonous tomato facts… Are there any?
any of the green parts of the tomato (even just the small bits inside the fruit) can kill small pets like hamsters or mice
