  tomatoes aren’t native to europe and after their introduction in the early 1500s it took almost 200 years for people to actually jat them, because they thought they were poisonous like potato berries. so the pizza is less than 300 years old.

    Katanas are also a relatively new japanese tradition, since they

    1. focused more on archery (until muskets displaced those)
    2. They had inferior iron, which is why they had to fold it 100 million times, which made the steel ultra brittle (which is why the orientation of the blade is so important in kendo)

      Fun fact Japan kept trying to conquer Korea specifically to get their Iron deposits. Japanese Iron is pretty shit comparable to Iron used for nails, which is also why Japanese steel was created it was to compensate for shitty iron.

      Also as you noted Japanese sword focused martial arts is notably different from everyone else in its focus to avoid certain strikes so as to not destroy or ruin the blade. Meanwhile in Europe, the middle east, and China for example there were multiple forms of sword martial arts focused on specifically cleaving through bone.

    It goes back further than that, it just didn’t have tomatoes on it then.

    I disagree. It may take a long time for a food product to enter mainstream consumption, but I can assure you some people will try to eat even poisonous potato berries as soon as they’re first found.

      Lasagne is very old. It’s also British.

      The first cookery book (published in Britain during the reign of Richard II in the 14 th Century), had a recipe called loseyns (pronounced “lasan”) that layered cheese, meat, and pasta.

    Ok but then it turns out that TOMATOES are part of the nightshade family (along with EGGPLANT and those are the only two I know off the top of my head) which have been shown to contribute to depression & other ailments.

      Tobacco is also part of the nightshade family.

    That seems like overkill for chopping garlic

      I suspect it was focused more on Gauls than garlic.
