[Sca-cooks] Blood oranges, etc.

[David Friedman]

Do we have any evidence that blood oranges are period, and if so that 
they are period in Europe? Sweet oranges only reach Europe near the 
end of our period? A quick web search finds the claim that they are 
"most likely the result of a mutation that occurred in 17th century 
Sicily."
