          Yep, gave Italians tomatoes and kept potatoes to themselves. So clever!

          I mean, yeah. Would be pretty stupid to give them ALL of the potatoes so they'd be unable to make gazpacho or carne con tomate..

            Tomatoes are god's perfect food, and I'll die on that hill. They add both sugar and acid, what else ya want?

            Note: This only applies to good tomatoes. Don't know about elsewhere, but in America we GMOed ours to be nice and round, evenly colored, no blemishes. Improving those traits removed the acid and sugar. That's why many only know of tomatoes as pink mush.

            Italian is my least-removed European ancestry. Aside from the flavor being complete ass to me, tomatoes are also dog shit for my heartburn.

                In Spain you can still easily find many different varieties, like bull's testicles tomatoes:

                No idea why it's called like that but it's really tasty.

                In german these are called „Ochsenherztomaten“ (Oxheart tomatoes) or „Fleischtomaten“ (Beef tomatoes).

                And yes they are very tasty!

                    You got the tomatoes with acid in them! 🙂

                    My best friend had the same issue. He got some sort of shot that resolved it temporarily. I think he can eat them with impunity now?

                      Potatoes, tomatoes, cocoa, coffee, pasta, peppers, tea, nearly every form of cooking spice; all this shit that Europeans and North Americans claim as culinary cultural heritage are actually ideas that were taken/repurposed from another country/culture/region.

                      But that's okay, just dont be a racist bigot about it, is all.

                        Sugar!

                        Before Europeans discovered the sugarcane they only had the natural sweetness of things to make sweet food, the sweetest of which is sugar beet, whose sugar is lot harder to purify than that of sugar cane.

                        How sweet can cake be without some reasonably pure form of sugar you can add. Did the concept of cake even exist in Europe before that?

                        Edit: nevermind - I forgot the sweetness of fruit (oops).

                                You could argue that there are no native people or orginal cultures besides the once in east Africa. Everything else evolved form there.

                                      Pizza seems to have just been independently invented by everyone. And I mean... It's just "things on bread" so that's pretty understandable.
