Er, ah, well, it could be buried in there somewhere, but it didn't turn up in a web search. Possibly, I never included them because I wasn't sure how to categorize them. Maybe in the nuts-msg file, but they aren't true nuts. But most people might look there.
I will be adding these message to the fd-New-World-msg file.
<<< Cultivation in South and Central
America appears to have been widespread, so they may have entered the
Columbian exchange early on. >>>
Huh? What is the "Columbian exchange"?
From Johnnae:
<<< Corn chips, potato chips, salsa, bean dip (use new world beans), peppers, peanuts,
chocolate, vanilla, pecans, brazil nuts, cashews, chicle (chewing gum), sunflower seeds, etc. >>>
An interesting idea. I often already use peppers, chocolate, vanilla and pecans in the OW/NW game I do.
I hadn't realized that brazil nuts, cashews and sunflower seeds are New World, though.
Are there any Old World seeds that were roasted and eaten as snack foods like sunflower seeds? i.e.;grass? seeds not tree seeds?
