Pomodoro or Tomato: Dividing Europe into Two

languages.eu:

The reason behind calling it "golden apple" is that the first tomatoes arriving in Europe were from the Americas and they were yellow/orange.

In some languages, it's called Paradise fruit (ie forbidden fruit) and in Maltese it's called Adam's apple. They are put in the "others" category. In Romanian there's also another word "roșie" and it comes from red.
