SC - Period veges

[Charles McCN]

some of the things that _ARE_ period:
Europe
Asparagus. Cucumber. Mushrooms. Toadstools (but not recommended for 
serving). Carrots (but they weren't orange. They were white or purple.) 
Leeks. Parsnips. Turnips (A giant Turnip in the country, My Lord). Beets. 
(Did people eat beetroot?). Cabbage. Artichokes. Fennel, Rockmelon 
(Cantelope), Watermelon, spinach, broad beans, Eggplant (aubergine), 
rocket, cress, endive, little cauliflowers, apples, pears, hazelnuts, 
cherries, grapes, apricots. And coffee. Said to have been discovered by 
an arab goatherd in the 850's

But think about what's where when. bananas are now grown in Iceland, but 
I don't think that was as common in 1200...
