People tend to forget about that. Corn, potatoes, and of course tomatoes are New World foods. Peppers, too, but oddly enough, not eggplants.

We owe an enormous debt to Columbus. Food must have been pretty boring in the Eastern Hemisphere, Asia, and Australia before the 16th century.

And a quick read of Apicius will bear that out.
