The Whitehouse Cookbook
From the blossom end of a dozen tomatoes—smooth, ripe and solid—cut a thin slice and with a small spoon scoop out the pulp without breaking the rind surrounding it; chop a small head of cabbage and a good-sized onion fine and mix with them fine bread crumbs and the pulp; season with pepper, salt and sugar and add a cup of sweet cream; when all is well mixed, fill the tomato shells, replace the slices and place the tomatoes in a buttered baking-dish, cut ends up and put in the pan just enough water to keep from burning; drop a small lump of butter on each tomato and bake half an hour or so, till well done; place another bit of butter on each and serve in same dish. Very fine.
Another stuffing which is considered quite fine. Cut a slice from the stem of each and scoop out the soft pulp. Mince one small onion and fry it slightly; add a gill of hot water, the tomato pulp and two ounces of cold veal or chicken chopped fine, simmer slowly and season with salt and pepper. Stir into the pan cracker dust or bread crumbs enough to absorb the moisture; take off from the fire and let it cool; stuff the tomatoes with this mass, sprinkle dry crumbs over the top; add a small piece of butter to the top of each and bake until slightly browned on top.

There are times when a restaurant will automatically add a gratuity. Normally there is a sign at the door or a note on the bill about this. It is typically between 10 and 18% and normally the really high pre added tips are on parties of 6 or more.
Be sure to really look at the bill so that you do not mistakenly over tip. Shockingly many waiters will neglect to mention that a tip has already been included. Why am I telling you about this now?
1) Many people do not know about this tipping tactic.
2) I recently went to a Thai restaurant that “accidentally” charged us a 50% tip. My dining companion noticed this and asked me about it. He knew that a tip is sometimes included but never this much. So we asked the hostess about this and she took it off the bill, claiming that it was an accident. She didn’t seem shocked though or that apologetic.
My point is that you should be diligent when checking your check at the end of a meal. You don’t want to over tip, unless the service is amazing, and you sure do not want to reward the staff for making a huge mistake like that.
