One of my books quotes a late sixteenth-century English source as saying
that the Italians (or possibly the Spanish) made a sauce of tomatoes and
used it "as we do mustard."

Unfortunately, everything's still in disarray from the move, and I can't
even remember which book, let alone lay hands on it.  More later....
