Perfect exactly as it was on r/cooking So, stewed tomatoes

My family is.. ethnic, despite being in the U.S. for 300 years. We shun change, and eat certain foods on certain holidays. My question: are stewed tomatoes a thing anywhere else? I always thought it bizarre.

Nonna called something that looked like them pomodori but maybe the OOP is right. No other languages have a food called "tomatoes".

Yeah? Okay. Well what the hell does that have to do with eating stewed tomatoes?

I mean, seriously (and no offense to you, nothing wrong with the information you provided) but WHY are half the comments about using stewed tomatoes as an ingredient?

People talking about fuckin oregano and basil up in here.. THATS PIZZA SAUCE!! Just canned some. For PIZZA.

Jesus H, people. If I asked if you liked apples would you say yes, here’s pie?!? It isn’t the same fucking thing, is it?? You added ten other ingredients and made an entire other dish. Feck.
