A few things. I doubt very many people ate off of pewter plates, if any meal was eaten on a plate, the plate was a "trencher", plates cut from stale loaves of bread.
Next, people thought that tomatos were poisonous due to the fact the belong to the same family as belladonna, not from any sort of lead poisoning.
Edit: I stated belladonna when I meant nightshade, I apologize. Just for clarification, nightshade is the proper term for belladonna.

Sure I've read it before, but still as amusing.
Me Ma keeps going on about a programme called "Chewing The Fat".
Has anyone else heard of it, and is it as good as she says?
(She says it's real good....before any smart arsed Darths get in.)
They have come up with several catch phrases that do the rounds up here notably "Gonnae no dae that" and "You've taken that too far!" There is also the "Good Guy, Wank" one but that needs to be seen.
