SC - Fw: [TY] Fruits From 'New World'

[Christine A Seelye-King]

I forward this to the list from the Tavern Yard (Meridies' Chat List),
because I thought there might be some interesting commentary from here.

Subject: [TY] Fruits From 'New World'


This weekend my Beloved Gustavef and I had a running gag at a RenFaire a
bit north of LA.  (well...3 hrs north of LA to be extact)

He presented a 'New World Fruit' (a pineapple) to Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth.  Her Majesty received the gift with great humor, and guarding
the Royal Pineapple became a running gag in our compnay.

My questions are:
1) Approximatley when did the Pineapple reach England (and
surrounding areas)?

2) Waht other 'New World' fruits were discovered and when...

Any suggestions on making a pineapple codpiece?  (the things I make for
my beloved)

Thanks!

Greetings!

Here's something I have read about since grade school and have yet to 
figure out what it is: breadfruit. What the bloody peat is it?
