Lady Anne du Bosc mentioned:
  <<< Seems to me we've had this discussion before.  ISTR that the  
upper classes
and royalty had access to white sugar.  Also, there was something about

Well... I've heard there is this website that might have info from  
those previous discussions...

<<<This is
a recurring question, like "is/are tomatoes, corn, beans, peppers, etc."
period.  >>>

And, yeah, I think it might even have some info on tomatoes, corn,  
beans and peppers as well. :-)
