No past yet from Asia, and no potatoes or tomatoes from the new world.
Pretty dull menu, therefore.
The other day a friend and I were reflecting a little (again) on how much of the world's current diet and food preference has arisen since 1492, with the addition of corn, winter squash, tomato, peppers (sweet and hot), and of course the potato.
OTOH, while I love a good potato from time to time, but it isn't exactly a cure for boredom.
I don't think we humans have ever lived on a dull menu, or at least, not for long; the presence of pasta didn't rely on Asia, it was around the ancient Mediterranean; Roman pizza was more like those veggie pizzas that were in vogue about 20 years ago -- the 'sauce' was cheese and olive oil, toppings were olives, onions, fish (probably garum/liquamen fish sauce during Roman times; anchovies now), basil, etc.
Just since the Middle Ages a whole mess of stuff has fallen out of the European pantry (medlars for example, although still available, displaced by more convenient or cheaper substitutes). Apple varieties continue to be developed, but older varieties that used to be favorites have vanished from markets, and slowly but surely from orchards.
Around these parts, just in the past 150 years a bunch of available but seasonal native plant food sources have fallen out of use, just because we don't pay much attention to seasonal availability in the US, or what used to be a seasonal rise and fall in general abundance. It's irrelevant. Not only do we miss out on a lot of old food choices, we've, uh, altered the rotation of the Earth from sheer preponderance of us.
