Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World: A History by William Alexander

informative slow-paced

4.25

I don’t like tomatoes myself but I’m interested in where things come from and their importance, particularly foods and beverages and this did a nice job of discussing it in terms of western civilization, particularly Italy and the US. My one wish would’ve been for more exploration of the history of the tomato in Mexico but I also understand we might not have a lot of information on that.
