I can't remember the exact dates given here, but you might want to check these
files in the FOOD section of my Florilegium:
tomato-hist-art   (18K)  2/ 1/99    "You say tomato I say Xitomatl" by Lord
                                       Xaviar the Eccentric.
tomatoes-msg      (19K)  1/29/99    Tomatoes in period.

I added a little bit to the tomatoes-msg file today. If you wait a few days
it should be in the Florilegium.
