I am reading a book of recipes that supposedly recreate Mesopotamian and
Egyptian feasts.
The author had ingredients lists including tomatos and tomato paste. I had
assumed that
tomatos were a "New World" food, like "Irish Potatos" and "Indian Corn". Is
there any evidence of tomatoes in Egypt or Persia before the 1500's AD?
Thank you
