Northern Italians originally looked down on pizza as a food of the poor people in Southern Italy. The southern Italians’ response to this was “Let them eat polenta”.
Because that’s what they ate before tomatoes came over from the New World. They ate polenta.
Roman soldiers and slaves would drink watered down vinegar, old worlders ate some wild shit.
Almost all the good stuff is from the new world, potatoes, chocolate, corn, blueberries, peppers, avacados, beans, etc.
