[Sca-cooks] Medieval and/or Middle Eastern Recipies containingTomatoes

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

Granted, I have only been studying this topic for 26
years, and have a mere 50 or so volumes on the subject, so I am very curious
as to your sources for this information.  What period sources contain
objects that should be considered related to the tomato? Can you give me an
example of a recipe you are thinking of?


Ok, so I got a *little* snotty there, but I was trying to be good :)
Thanks for the link, Regina.  The footnote that showed it was the source of
that Russian study didn't have a link, it was from Science.  I'd like to see
what the author actually said before I start quoting back.  Actually, I
think I probably won't get that deep into it, I doubt this fellow has any
real hard evidence.  I am still curious about that quote from the Rialto
about pre-Columbian references to tomato-like objects in the Middle East,
though.
