｢イタリアと言えばトマト」という印象が一般にはあるが、トマトの原産はイタリアではなく南米である。さらに、トマトが食用とされるようになった歴史はたいへん浅い。せいぜいこの200年あまりにすぎないのである。イタリア料理の原点が古代ローマ時代にさかのぼることを思えば｢昨日｣からのつきあいのようなものである。

Generally, the first thing that comes into one's mind when Italy is mention is tomato. However, tomatoes are not from Italy, but from South America. Furthermore, the history of tomato as an ingredient for cooking is very superficial. It's doesn't even go over 200 years. Looking back at Ancient Rome where Italian cuisine originated from is like a thing of yesterday.

Generally speaking, Italy always reminds us tomatos. Howeber, tomato is not native to Italy, but is South America. In addition, the history that tomatoes are used as food is very short. It is just the last 200 odd years at best. Given that the origin of Italian cuisine is dating back to the ancien Roman times, it is very much like a relationship since "yesterday".
