A staple when I was growing up when Tomatoes were plentiful in the summer time was tomatoes and day old bread. Cook the tomatoes, Mom added either water or her veggie broth to it, let them cook, smashed them down with a potato masher, added the day old bread cut up of course. Don't forget to taste it Grandma always stated: it too strong add a pinch of sugar. Mix them together and we had that with fish .. YUMMY !!
Thanks for the memories of Mom & Grandma making a fish fry, having stewed tomatoes and bread.
