Fun fact, the tomatoes were brought from America to Spain and the to Italy because Naples was part of the Aragón kingdom back then
The Italians took noodles from the silk road, tomatoes from Columbus, and pretended to have a culinary heritage.
So they invented fusion cuisine?
That’s just nonsense. Everything originally came from somewhere else, including humans themselves. Italians invented new uses for those two things and thus established a near-peerless culinary heritage.
Also, tomatoes were first brought to Europe by Spanish explorers. Please don’t give that genocidal monster any undue credit.
And I hate them to this day - unless they’re part of a sauce or something.
Maybe you never had any really good ones. I eat cherry tomatoes like treats, sometimes.
Same, if they are not on my pizza or not on my pasta I won’t eat them
