Watches is a really big one I missed considering how important the quantification of time is to human history. I didn’t include pizza because like OP said tomatoes ain’t European originally. I’ll take your word on electronic music as I know absolutely nothing about that, gold I don’t know if that counts at all since it’s a mineral. Maybe the best at working it? And yeah the Greeks invented democracy but is anyone in 2023 actually doing democracy well? Or well enough to brag on it, lots of money controlling the wheels of power around the world these days. Not saying you’re wrong I just don’t know if it’s clear cut.
Besides watches/time pieces you’re spot on there
And sorry for the edit I locked my phone and it posted before I finished
Second edit: I’ve had pizza from a bunch of different places and styles and while the best in my opinion is debatable depending on your palette, the absolute worst pizza is in Portugal, specifically at Tarantinos in Porto
Pizza predates tomatoes coming to Italy. There is a 2000 year old fresco that has a pizza in it (without tomato sauce obviously). Tomatoes made it to Italy around 500 years ago.
And there are still pizzas today that use a different base for their sauce than tomatoes. But taste is subjective so it's hard to say if those are "the best".
Damn! Today I learned, thanks for the info
"White pizza" using sour cream as the sauce/base is pretty good.
They have Papa John's in Portugal?
Glad I found a fellow Papa John’s hater, not saying any of the major American pizza brands are great but PJs is by far the worst
Just thought I'd point out that I don't think you meant palette, but palate. If you did in fact mean "palette" I apologize for my intrusion.
A lot of things are this way in English, if you haven't read the word in the correct context enough it's hard to write it the right way, and if you haven't heard it in the right context it can be hard to pronounce it right.
No you’re right,a combination of beer and auto correct, I’ll leave it for learning though
Not like it's hard to make such a mistake.
Yes, but we are comparing and I'd say comparatively Europe is definitely doing Democracy the best by far. It's most definitely not Asia or Africa and America isn't doing so well either, considering countries like Venezuela or the States.
Damn, Tarantinos catching some shade here.
You just have to trust me, it was really bad, like a five year let loose on a chef boyardee make your own pizza box after being given 3 shots of bourbon
