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.

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.
