[Sca-cooks] Tudor Plaintain/Banana debate

[Christina Nevin]

Saluti!

I've been talking to one of the curators at the Museum of London, and she's
told me they have just this week sent 2 samples of the skin off for DNA and
Carbon 14 testing (only just got the funding).

She also said she found a document 3 years ago about the importation of a
whole range of exotic fruits, including the plaintain, which she is hoping
to publish with the results of the analysis. She said she'd get back to me
(probably in a few months) so further details will follow.
