Tomat Tomato in America

Tomato is a bright plant, but it's impossible for me to really imagine walking into a garden where you have ripe tomatoes and egg plants. The story goes that when the tomato originally found its way on to european plates, you had aristocrats who were like, i'm going to try out this. But then they started becoming very sick, and they end up pronouncing the fruit to be poisonous. It turn out that the acid in the tomatoes was leaching lead out of the plates they were served on,. which incidentally made poorr members of society less susceptible to the poison.
