Tomatoes "slow food"? You can't get anything much quicker than a tomato sandwich. And when you throw them at poublic meetings they fly pretty fast. A very versatile fruit.

I've long been curius how people in Europe found out tomatoes weren't in fact poisonous - I mean, they look pretty deadly if you didn't know. I've got this theory it might have been the Borgias or some similar bunch of Renaissance villains unsuccesfully trying to whack a rival with a tomato dish.
