TBF the British Monarchy would eat tomatoes on their pewter plates, because of the acidity the tomatoes would begin to dissolve the plates, Injecting various poisonous elements into them.

Also, tomatoes ARE poisonous as they are a nightshade and contain solanine. Same with potatoes. The modern concentration of solanine is negligible, though, so unless you have a sensitivity or allergy to nightshades you should be fine consuming large quantities.

Fun fact: potato plants under the right conditions can produce fruits resembing cherry tomatoes. They are extremely poisonous.

Another fun fact: Since both potatoes and tomatoes are nightshades, you can graft them together and have a plant that produces both potatoes and tomatoes.

called the "Tato" in the fallout universe

I think Tato(e)s are just mutated tomatoes. You never really pull them out of the soil to harvest the potato part.

They compete for nutrients though. It's a novelty, but will eradicate your soil and produce crap plants.
