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).
That's the one I was thinking of.
>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.

No, I don't see that one. Using the index, these are the coffee and
other drinkables entries I come up with:
The Arabian goatherd Kaldi credited with the discovery
of coffee 850
The Shogun of Japan prohibits the drinking of tea 1350
First Coffeeshop opens in London 1632
Tea arrives for the fist time in Paris 1636
Coffee drinking becomes popular in Paris 1643
Opening of first coffee house in England, at Oxford 1650
Tea first drunk in England 1650
Drinking Chocolate introduced in London 1657
First London coffee house opened in St. Michael's
Alley, Cornwall 1652
First German coffeehouse in Hamburg 1679
First Coffee house in Vienna 1683
Billiards introduced in Berlin Coffeehouses 1707
Coffee first planted in Brazil 1727
Brazil's economy collapses owing to over-production
of coffee 1928
So, it contradicts itself, unless there is something significant in the
wording? I went back to check that I had all of the entries just the
same as they are in the book. Perhaps this is a case of too many
historians spoiling the pot?
