Plantation owners here grew them as an ornamental in flower gardens. They started noticing that the tomatoes were coming up missing as the slaves were filching and eating them. That is how they found out that they were good to eat.I somehow just can't buy into this story fully as the precursor of today's pizza was a simple Roman dish that had bread, sauce and whole basil leaves and preceded anything in this country by thousands of years.That's the problem about history, you get to here it from the guy who is telling it. That's why I like math. It can't lie.</blockquote>
