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.
"ew pizza is for poors I'd much rather my porridge instead"
al-Fredo sauce, the perfect embodiment of the southern Italian melting pot following the Arabian conquests
That plus wheat, grapes, and a bunch of other foods originating from Greece, Northern Africa, and the Middle East
They ate babies like the cannibal savages they are. :anti-italian-action:
"Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy who wants a thigh?" They were cannibals.
