That’s a fascinating page about the history of the pineapple in ancient Rome. But the author ruins it all with his conclusion: “This means that the cities were not destroyed in 79 AD, but sometime after Columbus brought the pineapple back to share with the Europeans.”

What a ridiculous assertion.

I’ve always honored the ancient roots of pizza by living my life by this motto:
“Delphinus cibus, glices retertus, linguis phoenicipteri, sic. Ananus comosus, nulo modo.”*

*”Dolphin meat, stuffed dormice, flamingo tongues, yes. Pineapple, no way.”
