    And of course modern pizza uses a key ingredient not even available until it was brought back from the New World.

    Not sure what point you’re trying to make since Pizza came from Napoli immigrants to the USA where it spread across the east coast and the rest of the country. American tourists then spread it across Italy because they kept asking head scratching, Italian chefs about it who couldn’t help them. There’s basically two kinds of Pizza: A local dish of Naples and a popular American fast food but it was never something traditionally Italian that represents the country’s cuisine or anything. Some Italians just somehow made being a food snob their culture or something.

    Another funny thing is that Carbonara sauce has endless documented recipes going back many years that include all sorts of ham, cheese and even garlic so don’t let any Italian tell you how to make a “authentic” carbonara. There is no such thing and they don’t know what they’re talking about.
