I had told Bats some time ago that tomatos are related to Deadly Nightshade - that they are all members of the Nnightshade family. He despises the smell of nightshde, it's a real BatsBane. And so he won't eat tomatos. This evening DQ and I had tomato on our tacos and he was shuddering so I figured I'd see if there is any actual poison in tomatos. It's pretty interesting. The information that smokers and those with arthritis is fascinating, though will frustrate my mother, she loves tomatos and potatoes. Certainly both my kids used to react to tomatos until they were around three years old and would never touch pizza sauce or catsup.

my beloved potato! i knew it was a nightshade, but i didn't know about it possessing nicotine. that explains my tater addiction.
I don't know whether I want to visit this site - the thought of a life without tomatoes is bleak! I had discovered that many of the foods I enjoy belong to the nightshade family - maybe that is why I suggested we save the nightshade at the side of the hobbitt house!
