Best Answer

The Romans were very fond of a sauce called garum which was made from fermented fish. It was similar to the fish sauce used in present day Thai cooking and probably acted as a flavour enhancer. The tomato was unknown to the Romans and not intoduced to Europe until the 15th./16th. Century when Europeans reached the Americas.

Tomatoes are a New World food. The Roman never saw one. The Spanish brought them to Europe and until the 1860's they were thought to be poisonous .
