Putting anything inedible on a plate is insane.
If its on my plate in a restaurant, I will attempt to eat it.
I wouldn't say insane but that's defo against the rules for me. I often have chefs who want us to leave the bellybuttons on cherry tomatoes and I get this mildly niggling feeling because I read a few years ago that they're poisonous.
Can you direct me to any sort of source on that? I did a brief search, and I see some information about toxins found in tomato plants in general, (mostly stems, leaves, and green/unripe tomatoes), but nothing that specifically discusses a higher concentration in the "belly button" (I assume you mean the core/where the stem connects?) vs. the rest of the fruit.
Well like I say, I just read it somewhere a few years ago, and I've just had a brief search myself and found the same thing as you basically.
