El intercambio entre dos mundos
Or, How the European Journeys to America made it more fun to eat
Did you know?Foods like corn, beans, tomatoes, limes,
peanuts, turkey, potatoes and chocolate are native to the Americas.
That means these foods were not known to Europeans before Columbus.
Wow, great info, Profe. So interesting.
Who cares!This may seem extremely unimportant, but if
you think about it for any length of time, a lot of our favorite foods wouldn’t have been developed without this interchange of foods.
Take a look at these foods. They wouldn’t exist without this interchange.
Spaghetti and Meatballs
French Fries
Chocolate Milk
Peanut Butter
Thanksgiving Turkey
The New World Benefited, Too!We brought over lots of good foods for those
in the New World.Animals like chickens, cows, and pigs are
native to the Old World, and these animals were bought over to the New World by those who colonized it.
Same thing, too. Imagine some of your favorite Mexican foods without…
Cheese
Beef
Pork
Wait a second…Without this food exchange, some of these
restaurants might not even exist!
Okay, okay, okayMcDonald’s might exist, but they’d have no…FriesShakesMcCafe DrinksEtc.
