This is a tale of tomatoes and desire: In the 17th century, tomatoes were feared as poisonous across Europe. It wasn’t until a French painter dared to face death that the world was finally able to taste the tomato’s beauty. After twelve hours of anxiety and fear, the painter emerged not only unharmed but found the flavor of the tomato exquisite, his appetite awakened. One evening, a woman prepared a delightful dish of tomato pasta with red sauce, waiting in both anxiety and anticipation for the return of a man.
