    This map was brought to you by Britain, the great!

    It never will, it’d be pure folly to believe otherwise.

  At the same time, 1491, you can do a map of horses in North America with the same result!

    Depends on how far back you want to go.

      Interesting! Wonder how that would've changed early American cultures if they hadn't died off?

    Even Spaghetti-Os. Can’t have those without the tomato sauce.

      Those are banned in Europe. Thankfully.

      There’s some contraband here and there, but the food police is on the case.

  Please explain meme for us who aren’t this well versed in history

  source

  • The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    It’s a meta meme. There are a few popular memes out there showing the divide between “Potato Europe” and “Tomato Europe”

    Image

    But this one is showing neither because it predates their arrival in Europe, I guess.

  Surprised irland isn’t yellow arint they known for liking potatoes

  source

  • GlendatheGayWitch@lib.lgbt ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Potatoes aren’t native to Europe. Europeans first discovered the potato after traveling to the Americas.

  Italy didn’t have tomatoes in the 1490’s? 🤔

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Alfredo sauce, silly.

    source

    • hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      While being totally wrong because it wasn’t called Alfredo at the time and wouldn’t be until like 1930s, they did often put oil, herbs, and cheese on pasta before the popularity of the tomato so you are still correct.
