The Italians took noodles from the silk road, tomatoes from Columbus, and pretended to have a culinary heritage.

    That's just nonsense. Everything originally came from somewhere else, including humans themselves. Italians invented new uses for those two things and thus established a near-peerless culinary heritage.

    Also, tomatoes were first brought to Europe by Spanish explorers. Please don't give that genocidal monster any undue credit.
