Ah well, I'd love to have a bibliography like that along with source
location notes, but I doubt it would be a big seller. I didn't expect one,
but I thought I would ask.

I haven't seen that title. The most recent food timeline I know of is
Trager's The Food Chronology, which is very impressive, but has a number of
errors and is not fully cross referenced. It too does not have a
bibliography (not that I expect one on any timeline).
As a point of interest, does your timeline have a reference to Kiva Han.
According some (questionable) sources, Kiva Han was the first coffee house
in Constantinople (about 1475). I'm trying to determine if the statement is
true.
