I just saw a reference to kohlrabi in I believe a much earlier (maybe 12 C)
list of stores or goods available from the grounds of the French King at the
time. I'll check it out again and report back. I was thrilled at the list of
food items, but was researching 12th C Ireland at the time and skipped it (I
knew I should have saved) It's on a web site of Medieval manuscripts.
