RE: Today in History: Potatoes first introduced to England
i don't know but i do know that when one of Chris Columbus' people came back with tobacco that he was imprisoned because of something along the lines of "only the devil could make a man breathe out smoke"... they kept him in jail for 15 years or so too, well after tobacco was already in widespread use.
LOL, that sounds so typical of the people in those times. It must have been horrible, trying to survive under all those ridiculous offenses they made up out of thin air!
