Show Notes

The tomato traveled a long strange road of misunderstanding and admiration all the way from the New World to the old and back again. Why did it become the iconic pin cushion shape we all remember and how in the heck did it sprout a little strawberry off the side?

P.S. We had some recording issues--darn you COVID-19. The sound quality isn't amazing, but the show is classic Amy and Trace.
