Not only that, but AFAIK, tomato plant was considered a flower for a long time
after brought from Americas.
It is interesting how then it literally transformed the cuisines of the
countries around the Mediterranean sea.

Pizza (or something like it) goes way, way back in history. However,
pizza with tomato sauce had to await the discovery of the Americas.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_pizza> since tomatoes are
thought to originate in South America.
