Non-period food

Not all food that is commonly eaten today was available in Europe in period. Various plants originated in the New World and took a while to become used in Europe.

• chocolate (well there is ONE specific recipe for chocolate tart that is apparently documentably pre-1600 (just), but all other uses of chocolate are best proven period first).
• new world vegetables
  • tomato
  • potato
  • sweet potatos
  • corn(maize)
  • beans of the snap, kidney and lima variety
  • squash
• new world fruits
  • pumpkins
  • pineapples -- (although they are supposed to have been carved, in period, within Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland)
  • papayas
• tropical fruits
  • pawpaw
  • mango
  • pineapple -- see above
• meats
  • turkey
  • llama
  • alpaca
  • guinea pigs

(Note-Yes, those meats can be eaten and were by indigenous tribes.)
