Ahh, fallible memory.  Didn't have the resource handy and I haven't 
seriously played in the potato patch for a couple years.

The potato is period in Europe.  The earliest ironclad evidence so far
is a record that potatoes were shipped from the Canary Islands to
Antwerp in 1567 (same source that Bear lists, though he has the date and
destination incorrect) (earlier reference Lobo-Cabrera, 1988).
