About This Quote

The image of a man beating a tomato is an image that stems from the 19th century. When tomatoes were first introduced into America, they were considered too sour and unpalatable for consumption. However, with time and an alternative to fresh produce growing in popularity, the tomato became more accepted and people started to eat them without hesitation.
