[Sca-cooks] More musings on nightshade and tomatoes

[Johnna Holloway]

I would recommend that people interested in the tomato
 read The Tomato in America
by Andrew Smith as he goes into this tomato=poison story
in a very thorough fashion. With footnotes and bibliography.
It does cover the history of the tomato in Europe.
