Well, then, what you REALLY meant to say was the dried dough-like noodles that Marco Polo discovered and brought back to Italy which was thus therefore exported to the United States and canned by Franco-American as a traditional Italian-like meal.
Oh wait, a minute, back up, tomatoes were not discovered until Columbus made it to the Americas... wow now I am really confused, I guess Italy's most famous dish is actually Chinese-South American... WOW.
Its such a warm day out, its a good day for primate food, better known as BBQ here in the 21st Century.
