Check out this interesting site for a timeline on food history:http://www.foodtimeline.org/It's just as interesting to see what foods have been invented in the past few years as it is to see what's been around for thousands of years. Did you know that portobello mushrooms and Yukon gold potatoes have only been around since the 1980s? Or that the grape tomato dates to 1998?Not listed in the timeline is the honeycrisp apple, which has quickly become my favorite apple. I think it dates to around 1999 when it was invented at the University of Minnesota.
Another interesting website about food through the Ages : A Taste of Historyhttp://library.thinkquest.org/C005446/frame.html
That is an interesting site. I think that historical diets would make it hard for any of us to go back in time and live the kind of lives that our long-ago ancestors did.
