Don't forget corn...I believe the Italians imported corn from Syria, though I 
can't find the reference again right now (still looking, though).  Also, 
according to the Larousse Gastronomique (though it does not give a primary 
source for this statement); "In Homer's time cooks as such did not exist.  
Female slaves ground the corn and prepared the food."  This brings to memory 
another reference which may place corn well within period, though it slips my 
memory at the moment.  I will find it and post it a.s.a.p.
