Tomatoes with Meat
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have been told that if one eats fresh tomatoes with meat, a leathery and indigestible substance is formed when they reach the stomach. Do you think this is true. We are all so fond of tomatoes (and lettuce) with cold meat, and really have never noticed any indigestion after eating them together. Tomatoes are so plentiful now, and I should like to have my mind at rest."Anxious Annie" (Featherston). Make your mind quite easy, Annie, for whoever told you that tomatoes and meat are enemies instead of friends, has made a great mistake. They go nicely together, and don’t antagonise each other in any way at all. In any case, you have really proved that for yourself, haven’t you? There are so many " food-fads" nowedays, and very often one diet quite contradicts another, so that one may get very perplexed if one pays attention to all the different theories put forward. Tomatoes 80 well with all the proteins-that is to say, with meat, fish, eggs and cheese. Tomatoes are very rich in Vitamin C, and also in Vitamin A, as well as containing a little Vitamin B; and are specially good if eaten raw, because vitamins A and C are lessened by cooking.
