A tomato is a mentioned only consumable.
Background[edit]
The product of a plant grown before and after the Great War. Dr. Ada Straus suggests taking a bath in Tomato Juice to cure radiation.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
Research conducted and reported upon in a Prydwen terminal includes information on two species of plants, a potato and a tomato, that have hybridized into a new species called a Tato.[2] The new consumable looks like a tomato on the outside, but the inside is brown.[2] The taste is described as "disgusting" but "will keep you from starving."[2] Delbert Winters remarks that both tomatoes and potatoes grow in Appalachia, having begun to cross-pollinate, resulting in the Tato hybrid variant that "tastes like ketchup-flavored cardboard."[3]
Notes[edit]
- The spelling of tomato is mentioned by Daniel Bird in a memo found on the Control Station ENCLAVE as well as by Bird himself in dialogue.[4]
- Taking a bath in tomato juice is suggested by Dr. Ada Straus as a backup remedy to treat radiation poisoning, in case her treatment is ineffective.[5]
- Mick Flanagan recounts how a few of his acquaintances were arrested for throwing rotten vegetables at Penny Hornwright's limo, including tomatoes. Mick continued, writing that the police mentioned charging the individuals with assault, to which Mick questioned, "how can you hurt someone with a tomato?"[6]
Appearances[edit]
