It goes back further than that, it just didn't have tomatoes on it then.

I disagree. It may take a long time for a food product to enter mainstream consumption, but I can assure you some people will try to eat even poisonous potato berries as soon as they're first found.

Katanas are also a relatively new japanese tradition, since they

1. focused more on archery (until muskets displaced those)
2. had inferior iron, which is why they had to fold it 100 million times, which made the steel ultra brittle (which is why the orientation of the blade is so important in kendo)

most italian dishes go back to barely before 1900 like most European things that seem like they are super old

because they thought [tomatoes] were poisonous

Ok but then it turns out that TOMATOES are part of the nightshade family (along with EGGPLANT and those are the only two I know off the top of my head) which have been shown to contribute to depression & other ailments.

Ew you eat food that's less than 500 years old?

Honestly this is probably what you would get if you gave a late Western Roman soldier crack.

Hey now, don't underestimate the lethality of the Cold Steel Italian Pizza Cutter.
