like here was me thinking that the Italians began calling pasta 'pasta' in the 1950's ------ after it was invented in the 4th century (took Oz a while to catch on)

and here's me thinking that the Romans had all that olive oil for cooking - apparently they must have lubricated the propellers on their boats though - the ancient greeks of course - I thought that they began to use it for cooking, before that - it was used for light in lamps and a few other things

who knew that it really only got going as a food lately

my mum had some olive oil when I was young. She used it to as a lotion for her skin.

There was this stuff called milk of magnesia for upset tummies. It tasted metallic.

she put bicarbonate of soda on my chickenpox sores to soothe them.
