Were there really wild boars in America before Columbus? And how about
garlic, pepper, oregano, cumin and bay leaves? These are Old World spices -
are there native American species also? And bananas (platains) and oranges
aren´t New World, either. Most or all of these things were brought there
fairly early, though.
