1,700-year-old 'Roman Glass' Discovered in East China Rome imported silk from China. It would be logical to think that the trade went both ways.

It's really sad to see you folks miss the implications. There was obviously a glass ceiling. Women's equality was first championed in China. Gosh, the clues were all there. Heh heh heh...

"There was substantial trade."
Any estimates of when the first plate of Pasta with/without Tomato sauce was served in Italy?

The Roman legions travelled on cabbage and a pouch of grain, which they had to mill for themselves. This made them edgy and always on the lookout for better food. They still don't quite get the idea of pizza.

If somebody expected me to get by on cabbage, I'd be on the lookout for better food, too.
Any food is better than cabbage.

They had pizza (borrowed from the Greeks) flat bread smeared with olive oil. Thanks to Central Americans and a Spaniard, Italians were finally able to make something that resembled a true Pizza brought to its true maturity in New York City.

The first pasta was probably served shortly after Marco Polo reurned with the secret of how to make spaghetti.
By the way, if you've ever seen it made by hand in the ancient manner, it's quite remarkable.

You are the winner. Tomatos from Mexico completed the ingredient list.
My mother-in-law stirs up a mean plate, using pasta, olive oil, and mustard greens.
A favorite with families that came directly from Apulia (Italy) to California. Mustard greens grow wild in both places.

The best pizza I have ever had is made in Newport News, Virginia - in my kitchen.
