Bear mentioned:
> Check the Florilegium.  There are a number of period citations for New
> World foods.
Yes, and a number of them came from Bear. :-)
Here are a few files that I can think of checking:
In the FOOD-BY-REGION section:
fd-New-World-msg  (12K) 11/ 6/03    16th C. food of and from the New 
World.
