Well Al, funny you should ask,
We were visiting some friends years ago out in St. Charles, now St. Peters I think just west of St. Louis. We had sliced tomatoes for lunch with the regular meal. AS usual I started to put sugar on my sliced tomatoes. Their boy a teenager or more done a screeching halt. I guess I and my siblings are the only ones in the country that puts sugar on their sliced tomatoes.

My wifes mother was also startled to see me put sugar on sliced tomatoes. My mother put sugar on her tomatoes so I learned it from her.

Sometimes I put ketchup in bean soup to flavor it.
