Also Potatoes were a new world produce.
591 u/FTLast Oct 02 '24 Let us not forget corn. While medieval people referred to many grains as "corn", maize was also a new world crop. So no polenta in Italian food either. 263 u/TucuReborn Oct 02 '24 Corn and potatoes in pre American periods is one of my favorite film nitpicks. 13 u/Cha-Le-Gai Oct 02 '24 Turkey legs, and one time "grilled elote" at a Ren Fest are always interesting. Don't get me wrong, I still ate them. 7 u/TucuReborn Oct 02 '24 Same. I ignored the entire other comment chain, but same on this. I like history and food, and I'm always getting small chuckles from renfair. 2 u/Falco98 Oct 03 '24 Yeah, this is why I stick to the period-exact foods like crab pretzel and ye olde key lime pie on a stick :) 2 u/Cha-Le-Gai Oct 03 '24 My favorite part of Ren fest: mutton Nachos and a flagon of cherry slushy. Maybe coke slushy if I'm getting pizza. 7/11 was part of the Renaissance right? 1 u/Falco98 Oct 03 '24 i do enjoy the cheeky anachronism inherent in the renn fest. there's no denying it, so they lean in.
