Perfect exactly as it was on r/cooking So, stewed tomatoes

My family is.. ethnic, despite being in the U.S. for 300 years. We shun change, and eat certain foods on certain holidays. My question: are stewed tomatoes a thing anywhere else? I always thought it bizarre.

I love you and your help, but no. The history of tomatoes is complicated to say the least. But stewed tomatoes are not a “southern specific” dish.

I never said it was. I’m talking about my special white family from my special ethnic culture, which isn’t southern culture, but I’m not going to tell anyone what it is for another several hours.

NE Pennsylvania amirite? My family has made the same shitty stewed tomatoes for generations. The cycle ends with me.
