Hmmm, did we settle this one at last?  The opinion so far seems to be:

If you use the sharp stick test...
- tomatoes and peppers are paleo
- potatoes are not

If you use the Old World test (which I'm sure is less useful)
- tomatoes, peppers and potatoes are not paleo

And since tomatoes and peppers are common antigens, perhaps the best  
advice to newbie paleo-dieters is "avoid potatoes, eat tomatoes and  
peppers if you want, and if you can"?
