1598.  I've got a copy sitting here, and I've read through most of it.
I don't recall there being much in the way of new world foods mentioned.
Perhaps turkey.  Not tomatoes, or I think that I would've noted it with
interest.  One of these days, when I finish the Good Huswifes Jewell,
I'm going to start transcribing Epulario.

Yours,
