Keep meaning to ask, and since the right people are reading in ...
In the herbal "Kräuterbuch" by Johannes Kentman, He shows a picture of
red apples from the new world "Rote epfel aus der nauen welt" that can
only be a picture of tomatoes. So is it possible that some apple
recipies might actually be tomato recipes? also are there any other
references that anyone knows of to new world apples in cookbooks or herbals?
