Tomato history includes an episode dramatized in a 1940s CBS radio broadcast. Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem County, New Jersey, had first introduced the tomato to the United States from abroad in 1808. After offering an annual prize for the largest tomato, he promised a public demonstration to prove that the tomato was safe to eat and not merely ornamental. In 1820 on the steps of the Salem courthouse a crowd of cheering spectators gathered to watch the poor fellow die from consumption of the poisonous fruit. Colonel Johnson bravely told the crowd he would eat an entire basketful and survive. To the possible chagrin of the eager crowd the colonel consumed an entire basket of tomatoes without keeling over or suffering any ill effects whatsoever. Whether the tale is true or not, we do know that the tomato began to become a staple of the American kitchen.
