The first European to describe coffee was the German botanist and traveler Leonhard Rauwolf.
His records show that coffee may have reached Europe as early as the 16th century thanks to imports by two East India companies: the British and the Dutch.
The most controversial topping, pineapple, was added by a Greek immigrant, Sam Panopoulos, to a pizza served in his restaurant, Satellite, in Chatham, Canada.
