Did you know that in the 19th century, tomatoes were widely believed to be poisonous in the United States? It wasn't until 1820 when Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson bravely ate a basket of tomatoes on the steps of a courthouse in Salem, New Jersey, proving they were safe. His bold move helped shift public perception, turning tomatoes into a culinary staple. Next time you enjoy a tomato dish, thank the daring colonel for his fearless taste test! 🍅✨
