yer right.

I just had them maters I just ate for filler, now I got to decide what to have with some more

[Delmonico]

litl rooster, in mid-evil days the only one's with 'mater's were Indians in South America. 

The old story of 'maters being poison seems to be a food leagnd like an urban one, they were only considered good to eat if cooked though.

I always figured whoever started that story, had tried them right outa the garden and just didn't want anybody else to catch on.  keep em all fer himself

[Delmonico]

I did some research, they can't even jive on the stories as to why and where.

But I did find a tomato joke.

How do you fix a broken tomato?
Tomato paste!

Maters is related to Night Shade which IS poisonous. I just had mine in a salad. Mine are those little Romas, only two plants in flower pots. Soil here is terrible, too much coal and clay. Had to dump 6 yards of topsoil to get a decent lookin' yard and puttin in shrubs and stuff was a real chore. Bunch of them didn't make it.............Buck

[Delmonico]

Thats what the all say is they didn't eat them because of the relationship, one problem Taxanomatry as a science really developed about the 1750's so what was their excuse before that.

"Sides that tobbaco is also of the nightshade family and it didn't take long for them to take to that.

I've fould dozens of "Food Legands" they are as bad as "Urban Legands."

[Delmonico]

So why do I know all this, well you see back in 1985 I put a dutch oven on my Christmas list because I was tired of nuthin' good to eat in hunting camps.

Well some how it ended up gettin' out of contol.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Yeah, but a lot of people enjoy yer malady...........

Mine are Romas in flower pots, too. 
Here's another member of the nightshade family. It was good also. 

Slim

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Tha Eller-funk comes rampaging into the thread and stomps on all Slim's vegamables and then runs out!

[Delmonico]

Was Slim flattened along with his veggies?  We must wait till the next episode and see what it shows.

[Four-Eyed Buck]
