1854 Knickerbocker Jan. 105 The same little darling, desiring some tomatoes at table, which she had heard pronounced ‘Tommy-toes’, in sport, being puzzled to remember the name, said she wanted some ‘Tommy-Footies’.

1879 New Haven (Connecticut) Reg. 22 Aug. 2/2 The tomato is masquerading about the market stalls in more aliases than you can shake a stick at. There are tomaytoes, tomarters, tommytoes, tomattuses, tommattoes, tormatoes.
