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.
