Exploring the origins of the tomato require I tell you the story of SOUTH AMERICAN PIMPS.
Not the kind with feathers in their hats... I'm talking about Solanum pimpinellifolium, the 'currant tomato' or 'pimp'. They grow wild in the Andean regions of Ecuador & Peru.

"French fries" first appears as "French fried potatoes" in 1856 work "Cookery for Maids of All Work" by Eliza Warren.
French-fried was a term of the time for anything deep-fried, as in french-fried onion rings & french-fried chicken.
Colonel Harland Sanders began selling chicken in 1930 & a sign painter, Don Anderson, recommended he make the switch.
