These corrections to B's post should be noted:
> Kale --- I want to say Portugal (England)
> Bell Peppers -- Capsicum poivrons -(Central America)
> Green Beans -- France, I believe,(Central America)
> Pole Beans -- I'm not sure (Central America-bush beans are a relatively
modern phenomenon)
> Field Peas -- France? (If you mean black eyed peas-Africa)
> Potatoes --- South America (Peru specifically Inca)
> Sweet Potato --- (West Indies)
> Squash --- (All squash are new world)
Cantaloupe --- I assume Asia as well...(Persia)
> Egg Plant --- India, cultivated in Italy by the late 15th (cultivated in
the middle east before the 1100s)
> Zucchini -- I will guess Italy, (new world)
> Corn -- North America (assuming you are thinking of sweet corn, (sweet
corn is a modern criterion but corn in general was introduced to Europe from
Mexico)
These are close if not exactly accurate.
