Love this! I have been writing about the history of ingredients for years, and it's so interesting how identitary some ingredients have become to a certaint part of the world while being originally from somewhere else completely different!
It really is both fascinating and wild how foreign ingredients become pillars of a country's national identity. The tomato is an excellent example. People are always shocked when I tell them, the tomato is not in fact from Italy!
