Milady,

     No you are not evil -- and constructive comments such as suggested
readings are a good thing, however, some of the items you mentioned were
used before 1600AD in Europe.  One example is the potato - which has
documentation for the potato, not the sweet potato, of 1597.  Although this
is late period, it is still within period.  Chocolate was also eaten before
1600, however not in it's current, sweet state.
