They act like tomatoes are 'their' food and integral to 'their' cuisine. Tomatoes were only introduced in the 16th century from the Americas. Then the Italians didn't fk with them until the 1800s. Now they scamper around acting like they invented the tomato. Their cuisine would be nothing without tomatoes yet they never acknowledge it's relatively new on their menus nor that it came from across the sea. It's a fkn joke.

Sorry, I'm not going there and playing along. I think people who do are weak.

Depriving yourself of one of the best cuisine based travel destinations because they've only been using tomatoes for a couple hundred years might be your best take yet.
