Actually, IIRC, Dr. Friedman is requesting information that shows that 
tomatoes were generally viewed as poisonous during the SCA time period. 
Specifically the fruits of the tomato plant. The tomato was unknown during 
the Middle Ages in Europe. It became known at the end of the Renaissance 
and/or early modern period.
