In the 16th century, Italians thought tomatoes were poisonous. The French called them "love apples". One thing must be said about tomatoes though - they are undeniably versatile! Although it occasionally changes (notably when I am on some trip where there is lots of French food), my death row dinner would be spaghetti and meatballs slathered in tomato sauce. So when our First-Garden-Ever yielded her first tomato, I couldn't decide what to do with it. Add it to the bruschetta topping? Slice it thinly and make it the star of a BLT on brioche? We decided to just serve it naked. Well, dusted with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Yum!
