Youtuber Max Miller did an episode on ancient pizza in which he attempts to recreate a Roman pizza based on a fresco from Pompeii and a poem usually attributed to Virgil. He went with cheese, dates, pomegranate seeds, and a sauce similar to pesto. Which honestly sounds great to me
As far as I care, “discovered” is in relation to cartography, at which point most societies know of it and its location.
Anything else is just pathetic semantics that could go back through evolution and the chronology of Earth’s continents and geography. No one wants that except a couple of Actually Guys.

Well then you can’t go with Columbus. Basically no one in Asia or Africa knew what he did, let alone both of the Americas and Australia. So unless you define Europe as the only place with societies, Columbus doesn’t even come close.
This would have more merit if he ever set foot in North America. He landed in the Bahamas. It’s technically part of the North American tectonic plate, but so is part of Iceland.
I discovered a new restaurant last week. It’s been around for decades but it was new to me. I can’t remember the first time I tasted a tomato or potato, but to the Europeans it must have been amazing! And don’t forget chocolate!
You are correct about the thriving and ancient civilizations in the “New World” of course. Getting olives and oranges and figs, even horses, doesn’t feel like enough compensation for what happened to them…
The gravity was there from the beginning of time, but Newton discovered it.
English is not my first language but as long as you specify for who, you can use discover, like "I discovered this movie last year, it’s my new favorite movie since then’ and the movie was published 40 years ago.
They can be, they’re nightshades so they make little tomato-like berries which contain seeds. Usually people just replant potatoes instead because it’s easier and they grow faster.
Please explain meme for us who aren’t this well versed in history
It’s a meta meme. There are a few popular memes out there showing the divide between “Potato Europe” and “Tomato Europe”
But this one is showing neither because it predates their arrival in Europe, I guess.
finally, Ireland is made whole
Potato and tomato were native to the American continent.
But how did Italians make their pizzas? :(

This makes me think that ancient Romans would absolutely put pineapples on pizza if they had access to them
They were the real barbarians all along
If I wasn’t allergic to pomegranate, I’d try to make that.
They probably used peppers.
Flammkuchen
With left beef
This makes my whole life feel like a lie, I really do associate tomatoes with southern Europe and potatoes with northern Europe
Neither existed in Europe back then. I’m not sure if there is another reference to that exact date I’m missing
América was discovered by Colon in 1492 and bring the first potato and tomato seeds to Europe
I’m pretty sure he didn’t discover it, what with people having lived there for tens of thousands of years.

Sorry. Did I say I was “going with Columbus”?

I thought it was discovered by ship
poo if by sea
Do potato grow from seeds? I thought they just grew from other potato.
They can be, they’re nightshades so they make little tomato-like berries which contain seeds. Usually people just replant potatoes instead because it’s easier and they grow faster.
Potatos make tomatos? Now you are just trying to confuse me.
Yes, you are right , he brings potatoes and tomatoes seeds, not potatoes seeds and tomatoes seeds
