Edible history of tomatoes in human history

Start with tomatoes. In fact, humans have not eaten tomatoes as vegetables for a long time, probably from the18th century, that is, three or four hundred years. Tomatoes originated in the jungles of South America and were introduced to Europe in the 6th century/kloc. But at that time, people only regarded tomatoes as an ornamental plant and dared not eat them, because people at that time thought that brightly colored plants and fruits were poisonous, which was the experience gained by ancient humans from foraging in nature for a long time.

But China has a shorter history of eating tomatoes. Tomatoes are also called tomatoes in China and among the people. Persimmon? . Friends in the 1970s and 1980s should still remember that when we were young, besides persimmons, there were rickshaws and matches.

According to the latter, persimmons were introduced to China by western missionaries during the Wanli period. Persimmon is tomato, which is tomato. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China actively or passively introduced a large number of crops from western countries, most of which had names? Fan? Or? Foreign? Words, such as persimmon, sweet potato, potato, etc. But at this time, people in China also regarded tomatoes as ornamental plants.

When exactly did scrambled eggs with tomatoes appear? I think it was in the 1930s. At that time, with a large number of foreigners coming to China, tomatoes gradually appeared in the China market. However, many people in China didn't buy it at that time, and regarded tomatoes as something that worships foreign things and flatters foreign things. Mr. Lao She published two articles, Tomatoes and Re-discussion on Tomatoes, attacking this phenomenon of worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things. He said in "Tomatoes":

The so-called fried shrimps with tomatoes are called tomatoes in the northern plains and persimmons or red persimmons in Shandong.

According to Mr. Lao She's article, when he was young, tomatoes were just children's playthings. It was not until he wrote this article in 1935 that tomatoes began to appear in restaurants. Although the article mentioned it? Fried shrimps with tomatoes? But I think, since tomatoes began to appear in China vegetable market at that time, and tomatoes were on the menus of various restaurants, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which were more affordable than scrambled shrimps with tomatoes, should probably have been born at that time.
