Same here in the UK though people abbreviate as we always do, like if someone says sprouts in the UK everyone knows they mean Brussels sprouts. That said, this is all surely an origin of cultivation as far as we know it. I find it hard to believe that a raspberry or blackberry, for example, was not spread all over by birds since that's kinda what they to do and certain other fruits would be spread by animals on foot, though much slower, relatively speaking. Also, by now fruit and veg have been purposefully bred by us humans so that many do not resemble the original wild versions, eg white carrots, non-sterile bananas, less apple/grape varieties and so on.

Yes, vaccinium corymbosum is native to North America only, however vaccinium myrtillus is common in Europe and all the way from Greenland in the west to Siberia in the east. Vaccinium myrtillus was likely a part of the diet of Europeans already during the ice age... I have no idea about when cultivation started though...

Neither the tomato nor the potato spread _quickly_ to northern cuisine. In case of the potato, it took well into the 1700s until the potato became a staple food for most of the population of Northern Europe. The dependence on the potato is much younger than people often expect. The rise of the tomato in Northern Europe came a bit later but at a roughly similar time. Also, the fears about being a night shade plant were not entirely unreasonable. The green parts of both the potato and the tomato are mildly toxic.

The strawberries are a little bit smaller than those of the usual garden variant, but much bigger than that of the wild strawberry.

There is a European blueberry too, it is smaller but taste more and grow wild over most of Scandinavia. I don't think you see it often outside North Europe though since the smaller berries means you earn less money growing it. On the plus side do we have so much that tens of thousands of people pick the wild every year. It might be that it is tastier since you pick them fresh in general instead of growing them in large greenhouses, but health nuts love them since they have more antioxidants. Also: I think you should have mentioned coffee. And yeah, coffee is a berry.

In my country Pineapple pizza is called Hawaiian Pizza, pizza with lots of hot salami is called American Pizza and pizza with egg is called Aussie Pizza. That's strange because none of those toppings came from the countries the pizzas are named after.

Hawaiian Pizza in America is specifically Pineapple with Ham/Spam, Hawaiian's love spam for some reason, I suspect something about living in paradise makes you crave mediocrity.

Blueberry grows in Eurasia and it is a different species to north American blue berry (and better tasting). Also chilies and bell peppers are not different species. Chilies are original species and bell peppers are just chilies that have been created with no burn and more sweetness. Otherwise a good vid.
