tomatoes aren’t native to europe and after their introduction in the early 1500s it took almost 200 years for people to actually dare to eat them, because they thought they were poisonous like potato berries. so the pizza is less than 300 years old.
Katanas are also a relatively new japanese tradition, since they
focused more on archery (until muskets displaced those)
had inferior iron, which is why they had to fold it 100 million times, which made the steel ultra brittle (which is why the orientation of the blade is so important in kendo)
I disagree. It may take a long time for a food product to enter mainstream consumption, but I can assure you some people will try to eat even poisonous potato berries as soon as they’re first found.
