I HAVE SOLVED THE TOMATOES.
With help from
renenet in the comments to my last post, I have worked it out:
POSITED: Tomato plants are 'spontaneously generated' from unicorn dung (which is of course to say that unicorns, dimension-hoppers that they are, eat tomatoes elsewhere and excrete the seeds in Camelot).
ALSO POSITED: The fruit of unicorn-shit-plants is clearly unfit for consumption by man or any tame beast, yet neither can the plants be uprooted.
THEREFORE: What we see as perfectly edible (and anachronistic) tomatoes are a nuisance-fruit which can be used only to throw at people in the stocks!
