@ruari “The word pizza was first documented in 997 AD in Gaeta. Pizza was mainly eaten in Italy and by emigrants from there. This changed after World War II when Allied troops stationed in Italy came to enjoy pizza along with other Italian foods.”997 - 1945 is quite a run before making it on the international stage. I’ve only been going 36 years. There’s still time for me to become a household name globally.

@matt While reading this I noticed,"For some time after the tomato was brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, it was believed by many Europeans to be poisonous…"Which brave soul decided to try it I wonder 🤔

@ruari I guess Edwin Starr never got chance to read Wikipedia. If so, “the popularisation of pizza” would be the answer to “War, huh! What is it good for?” instead of “Absolutely nothing”

@matt "It took three centuries after their introduction in Europe for tomatoes to become a widely accepted food item. … Physicians in the 16th century had good reason to suspect that this native Mexican fruit was poisonous [as a member of the nightshade family]"…"However, in 1592 the head gardener at the botanical garden of Aranjuez near Madrid, under the patronage of Philip II of Spain, wrote, 'it is said [tomatoes] are good for sauces'."From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_exchange#Tomatoes

@ruari on the subject of #wikipedia …1) Do you donate to Wikipedia??2) What’s a good alternative to Wikipedia??I remember once doing a search for sites that were running #mediawiki and finding a bunch of specialist subject wikis.

@ruari Wikipedia is great because “anyone can edit it” but on the handful of occasions I’ve added or edited information, it’s often been removed for being “not notable” (as in a random moderator in the USA didn’t care for my cited UK local knowledge) or it got removed because the “writing style” felt “promotional”. I’ve never felt welcomed when editing Wikipedia.

@ruari Nice! 👏 👏 👏 I see you’re using Kagi too for search! Is it worth subscribing? I give all my searches to Ecosia right now.

@matt I doubt they can ever be a big company because I don't think most people would understand why they should pay (or that they are paying anyway in other ways) but this was not your question.Worth it? Well for me it is. 😉

@ruari I’m going to set it as my default and see how it is (And also steal some of their features and claim them as my own ideas in work)
