Pompeii fresco find possibly depicts 2,000-year-old form of pizza
Ancient painting includes fruit that looks like a pineapple – although it is almost certainly something else
It's almost like putting tasty things on top of bread is usually pretty good.
That's no pineapple!
Shouldn't expect tomatoes either though.
Foccaia type bread with cheese, olives and wine? What's no to like?
The article says it has no tomato and no cheese. Where I come from we call that bread.
Modern pizza is nothing like ancient "pizza" which was basically flatbread seasoned with oil and herbs and only eaten by poor people.
unless they couldn't afford it, in which case they could eat cake
So that would be bread, then? ;)
If my memory recalls correctly from reading 1491, tomatoes did not make it to the new world until 1500 years after this fresco, so likely not a pizza like we know it.
