- amyjess 5y agoIt blew my mind when I realized 'pizza' was probably etymologically related to 'pita'.
- InitialLastName 5y agoI just discovered "pide" [0] from a local restaurant which is roughly the same thing from the next region over. There's a neat pattern around the eastern Mediterranean where lots of cultures eat roughly the same foods (because they have been exchanging cultural concepts along with their trade goods and humans for millennia) but because of parallel historical tensions, each culture is vitriolically convinced that they invented their foods.
