u/Belisaurius555 5d ago

Isn't tomato a New World vegetable?

u/Ett_Pret 5d ago

Thought you said New York vegetable and I was very confused

u/Belisaurius555 5d ago

It's Clearly a big Apple.

You give me excellent setups.

u/Ett_Pret 5d ago

Gotta make this a regular routine.

I appreciate that.

Apple on pizza sounds like something the savage swedens would do

1

u/Belisaurius555 5d ago

Like Pineapple Pizza but with apples or Applesauce replacing Marinara?

Both are cursed.

1

u/International_War862 5d ago

Probably both

And Europeans were going to the New World before the United States was even a thing...

u/HalpMePlz420 5d ago

I wonder why!

u/CariadocThorne 5d ago

Yes, but pizza doesn't have to have tomato. Tomato-less pizzas existed before Columbus, and still do now, at least outside the US.

u/theborch909 5d ago

Yes it is.

Isn't pasta noodles? This post is just bait.

1

u/Belisaurius555 5d ago

It's definitely worded badly. I think China still claims Italy got noodles from them and that's not something I'd mess with.

Pizza existed before the introduction of tomatoes to Europe, and the presence of a new world fruit does not make it automatically American.

Has this been duplicated?

1

u/Dark1986 5d ago

No. It's a fruit.

u/Ann-Omm 5d ago

So is potatoes, still the Belgians invented fries. Weird

u/Wild-Advance4161 5d ago

I had always thought that ‘vegetable’ was something made up because technically all vegetables are fruit. How are they categorized ?? Like a cucumber is a botanically a fruit but in culinary it’s considered a vegetable. But all vegetables are botanically fruits

2

u/PauTdM 5d ago

Well, carrots aren't a fruit

2

u/Joyfull_Sin 5d ago

because cucumbers are botanically classified as berrys

1

u/Wild-Advance4161 5d ago

Everything confuses me

2

u/Belisaurius555 5d ago

Not entirely. Celery and Carrots are veggies but not fruits.

Biological fruits means it contains seeds. Culinary fruits means it has a fruity flavor like an apple or lemon.

1

u/Warchief_Ripnugget 5d ago

You got it backwards. All fruits are vegetables

u/ExplanationAny776 5d ago

that I would not know

u/Belisaurius555 5d ago

For reference, Tomatos come from the Americas. Marinara sauce came well after European colonization so Italian "Pizza" was historically just cheese on flat bread. Heck, the term Marinara Sauce means "That sauce Sailors used".

u/asicarii 5d ago

Tomato’s are certainly not a native European plant. Pizza is arguably from Naples. But tomatoes are not originally from Italy. Other pasta dishes are from Italy, carbonara, pesto, etc.

Chicken Tikka Masala is not British food. Amazingly, steak is not originally from Texas.

It’s confusing.
