Cut a slice from top of tomatoes and remove seeds and some pulp to leave a shell. Do not peel. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook onions and celery in oil until tender. Add rice, cheese, milk, salt, and pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Pile filling into shells and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
