Attack of the killer tomatoes

Posted by Linden on August 25, 1998 at 02:39:53:

To L and T indexWhen tomatoes were first introduced to Europe they were believed to be poisonous and called "Love apples".

Does anyone know when they first became eaten widely? Would they be eaten during the Regency period?

Cheers

Linden
