Earlier today after ereding Warrens bull and some others, I turned to my
etymological dictionaries to see if they could shed any light.
To my surprise, even the most modern, updated 1980 didn't have pizza,
pasta or paella. The only Italiam dish it had was spagghetti.
I took a look at my latin dictionary, without much hope as I have already
said that modern Italian is a long way from Latin, in fact latin does not
have a letter 'z' or 'y' except in Greek loan words. The nearest word to
'cook' was Pistor = a miller or breadmaker. Could be a clue there.
A quick look at Greek, checking the spelling with Eta,Iota and Epsolon
compounds, showed no words remotely resembling pizza.
So it is a mystery. There are a lot of flat breads in many countries, not
just around the mediterranean, e.g. pappadum and paratas from former India
I can only conclude that pizza etc; are new world imports.
Enough! my tired old eyes are strained from readin and I just don't care.
