“Scrambled eggs with tomatoes” is a Chinese invention.

How can you see it?

1. From the perspective of the historical development of tomatoes, the time when tomatoes were introduced from Peru, South America to Central America cannot be verified, but it is certain that the Incas and Aztecs in America were as early as BC Tomatoes have been cultivated since 700, but the only time they were eaten is in the 16th century. The first people to eat it were the Mayans and the indigenous people of southern Mexico. They ate it raw without cooking.

2. Tomatoes were introduced to England only after 1590. A quack named Gerald Huber knew that Spanish and Italian people loved to eat it. Even so, he still insisted that tomatoes were poisonous. Therefore, they were not included in the recipes, so they should be eaten raw. .

3. Around 1750, tomatoes were introduced to North America, and Americans also ate them. At that time, not many people ate them, and everyone mainly regarded them as decorative plants.

Even Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, ate it in Paris.

After returning to China, he not only ate it, but also promoted it.

At that time Americans do not eat tomatoes as a daily vegetable, but only as a fruit in the summer. Therefore, no cooking was performed.

4. In the 17th century, British sailors discovered a sauce (made from stone fruits and mushrooms) used by southern Chinese sailors to pickle fish, and found it very delicious. Then it spread to England, where people began to call all salty, thick sauces containing many spices kctehup. At that time, there were many kinds of ketchup in Europe, and the raw materials included walnuts, anchovies, mushrooms, cucumbers, etc., but none of the ketchup used tomatoes.

American Henry Heinz did a very creative ketchup and added tomatoes to the sauce.
