Tomatoes were considered poisonous because they used lead plates back then and the juices from the tomato would absorb parts of it

Tomatoes were considered poisonnous because they used lead plates back then and the juices from the tomato would absorb parts of it

I think it's more likely to do with the historical reason they were thought to be poisonous, that being that they're related to tobacco, mandrakes, and deadly nightshade, all of which are poisonous.

Thank you for the update.

Sounds like a rich people problem, because I am pretty sure the poor probably used wooden ones.

I love the fact that this is probably one of the only Isekai that takes it's worldbuilding quite seriously, it actually feels like it's set in the 1500s Europe, most isekais just use the Mediaeval Europe theme just to make it look like fantasy, these little tidbits just bring so much life into the worldbuilding, Kudos to Author for actually being able to write (a skill which most Isekai authors lack)

Technically both. The royalty used pewter plates which has trace amounts of lead in it, but is safe for normal dining. Tomatoes have such a high acidity that it can leach the lead out of the plates and mix it into the food causing lead poisoning. It was once called the "Globes of the Devil" and "Poisson Apples". Although the ripe fruit itself is not poisonous, the leaves and unripe fruit are. Adding to the fact that it was in the same family as deadly nightshade only helped bolster this myth.

Finally she fully accepts her heterosexuality, that's wonderful.

You're actually kinda right? Tomatoes became popular peasant food while the rich people thought they were poisonous because the peasant were eating them with their hands instead of off metal plates. A youtube channel called Tasting History did a whole video about tomatoes that covered the subject.

Unrelated, but since this manga has been pretty fastidious about its accuracy so far, it's a bit startling to see konbu come out of left field, when I don't think europeans were using that for soup stock in whatever time period this is...

I always heard it was because they're bright red (the colour of danger), but when I think about it, strawberries and cherries and such didn't have such reputation (as far as know), so it must have been something else - though maybe tomatoes were the first bright red food eaten, and what got rid of the stigma (if I were to try and die on this hill, ha)?

It's literally the other way around, lol. It's been theorized that primates evolved the ability to distinguish between red and green so they could more easily see the ripe red fruits on trees. The idea that the colour red means danger is a significantly more modern idea.

 

[Bibliothecarius]

thnks for the chapter!!!

 

[Baddtraxx]

damn they really are flirtalous with each other lol

 

[PzArrow]

Okay that's it, I'm dropping this. This manga is so low effort and most chapters are just monologues, the art has been so low effort for months now even random twitter artist's rkgk looks better.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

Ok nonono there's no way raw eggs are okay, even in modern world it is mostly not okay. Japan is the only country where they put a meticulous quality checking on their eggs so it can be eaten raw. You try to make Tamago Don using egg you bought from the supermarket in America, you'll probably gonna get Salmonella. It'd be even worse in supposed to be Medieval world.

 

[Lunkli]

What if he's actually just deathly allergic to tomatoes? Ever consider that, Miranda?

Not true. The Tomato, a new world plant, has an old world cousin called the Deadly Nightshade, which looks very similar and has a similar looking fruit (except for being purple). As Deadly Nightshade is called so for a very good reason, people in Northern Europe, where it grows, refused to believe the Tomato was edible. Meanwhile, down in Italy, the Tomato became wildly popular. There was an odd period for a century or so where Northern Europeans only grew them as ornamental plants while believing they were poisonous, while Southern Europeans were chowing down on them in large quantities,.
