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.
