Tomato:

Tomatoes, originally from South America and initially deemed poisonous in Europe, gained acceptance during the Victorian era (1837-1901) due to the period's horticultural advancements and the British Empire's exchange of agricultural knowledge. Initially grown as ornamental plants, tomatoes benefitted from the Victorians' passion for gardening and innovations in glasshouse technology, which enabled their cultivation despite the British climate. By the latter part of the era, tomatoes had become a staple in British cuisine, appearing in various recipes and benefiting from new canning techniques that ensured their year-round availability. Thus, the Victorian era was pivotal in transforming tomatoes into a culinary mainstay.

Violets:
Violets, delicate and fragrant, gained particular prominence during the Victorian era (1837-1901) as symbols of modesty, faithfulness, and virtue in the popular language of flowers. The Victorians' passion for gardening and advancements in horticulture, such as improved greenhouse designs, enabled year-round cultivation and the development of new varieties. Violets featured prominently in Victorian fashion, personal care products like perfumes and sachets, and were celebrated in literature and poetry, symbolizing innocence and elegance. Thus, violets became emblematic of the era's refinement and romanticism.
