Something for historical fiction writers: food timeline

Saladin Ahmed, author of Throne of the Crescent Moon, posted this link on his FB page today - a timeline of when different foods were introduced and even by whom in some cases.  Historical fiction writers might find this very handy.

Wow, @Ian, this is awesome!

 

I am going to share this with my fiance--he's a chef, not a writer, but he goes nuts (sorry for the pun) for these kind of factoids.

 

Definitely one to bookmark. Mind if I share over twitter?

It's not for me to object - it's something I came across, not something I came up with.  So go right ahead!
