History
Food historian Andrew F. Smith stated that stewed tomatoes became popular in the United States in the early 19th century, with recipes appearing as early as 1829, as tomatoes in general became popular in the United States. Stewed tomatoes commonly appeared in restaurants in the 1840s.[3] Canned stewed tomatoes were common starting in the 1940s.[4] Currently, the dish is prepared on special occasions like Thanksgiving, in American kitchens, often as a combination with casseroles and puddings.[2] Noted food historian Betty Fussell stated that stewed tomatoes were one of the most loved and common dishes for her grandfather's generation. She adds that she remembers heating tomatoes and adding butter, salt and sugar in it, to create a dish that was served with bread on a daily basis.[2] In 2019, Dayton.com, a news website based in Dayton, Ohio, reported that stewed tomatoes were popular in Dayton restaurants.[5]
