Tomato (binomial name Solanum lycopersicum) is a mildly acidic red or yellow pulpy fruit eaten as a vegetable, although technically qualifying as a fruit.[2]

Tomato was an essential component of a BLT, a sandwich consisting of bacon, lettuce and tomato.[3]

History[]

It was a known flavour of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.[4][5] Both raw and fried tomatoes were served at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the 1890s up until the 20th century.[6][7] They were visible in the Great Hall on 2 September 1993.[7]

In 1991, while Vernon Dursley took them on the run from wizards, the Dursley family and Harry Potter ate stale cornflakes and cold tinned tomatoes for breakfast while staying at the Railview Hotel.[8]
