Visited a friend at rehab last night and the therapist, (middle eastern) began asking questions about farming. She asked about how and when things are planted. She then remarked about how she learned that Native Americans taught the settlers how to grow vegetables for Thanksgiving.

My question is, were there no vegetables in England prior to the 1500s?

Thanks Charlie. Didn't realize that.

Pretty sure they had swine and chickens, what did they feed them instead of corn?

Europe had small grains. Wheat, Barley, Rye, Flax, etc.

Maize, or what we call 'corn' came from The Americas.

Many of the first world settlers weren't exactly the type of people most suited to frontier life. Many were town/city people fleeing persecution, hired labor, indentured servants, rich sponsors, etc. Not a wealth of knowledge on how to survive in a foreign environment.

The Bible means wheat when it says corn. Do some research.

Corn refers to barley, rye, wheat- what we call corn is properly maize.
Most of the foods we eat are American in origin, tomato, potato, beans, maize, sweet potato, peanuts, peppers, avocados, cranberries, black raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, elderberries, huckleberries, papayas, pawpaws, passionfruit, pineapples, red raspberries, strawberries, squashes and more were unknown in the old world.
iirc they did have beets, turnips and onions.

Matthew 12:1 King James Version. (Not sure what year Of Translation)

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

Corn, squash, beans were typically grown together and known as 3 sisters. The sisters plants are still grown together.

Corn, in Europe, is a catch all term for grains. What we know as corn here in the States is maize.

History vegetables is interesting.

Crops native to the americas are tomatoes, "irish" potatoes, corn/maize, true squashes/pumpkins, butter/lima beans, common bush/pole beans, chilis/peppers of all types, tobacco and peanuts.

Many others that we eat today were "available" to Europe but we're either not adopted yet or developed to current status. For instance both field peas and okra as well as true yams were in Africa as were watermelons. Only watermelons had mad their way to Europe. Field peas and okra came through the americas as part of the slave trade prior to going to Europe.

Strangly though many new world crops were already in Europe, via Spain, prior to the English colonization of North America. Yet in the century plus between Columbus and Jamestown few if any had gained widespread use.
