How long have the Italians been using tomatoes in their cooking? I like the white corn most but the tomatoes I dislike them cutting them so green. No flavor at all. I grow my own. |

I heard and I don't know if this is totally true or not but the great potato famine started with some potatoes from Mexico with something wrong with them. Maybe Mayans revenge. :o (that was a thrown in) |

How long have the Italians been using tomatoes in their cooking? Corn (maize) is a new world plant. The native Americans of New Mexico had a diet that consisted of corn, beans, squash, and hunted meat (mostly deer). Other native Americans had somewhat different diets. One tribe that I read about in California had learned how to treat acorns so that they were edible. Acorns are really not good for you long term, however, soaking acorn meal leaches the chemicals that are not good for you out. Corn was a staple throughout the Americas North of the equatorial Rain Forest and south of the someplace in Canada. It was first cultivated someplace in Mexico from Teosinte. (Yes this is from memory. I took a few anthropology courses as electives in college). BOINC WIKI |

Apparently also in Florida and NJ. I had one once but it didn't live that long. |

They never do, we've had loads. Then I don't feel so bad. Air plants were another touchy one too. |

I'm thinking about African food. I don't think we have any restaurants over here with African food. African shops we have, but they hardly sell any food there... funny you should say that, I can't recall having anything African. |

We do not have one in Stockton, but they do in Sacramento. When I was twelve going on thirteen, I visited Tunisia. The accomodations were Stone Huts and dinner was Couscous and some type of meat. That was a true finger food meal. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Couscous is a Maghrebian dish of semolina traditionally served with a meat or vegetable stew spooned over it. Couscous is a staple food throughout Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya. Couscous was elected as the third favorite dish of French people in 2011 in a study by TNS Sofres for magazine Vie Pratique Gourmand. Boy that looks good bar none. |

Made some couscous last weekend with chicken and wok vegetables. Must say the kids loved it. I'm sure, I like it too. I have had it in many ways but it's a good standby when your feeding the kids. (well that was 45 years ago now) :) I had a lot of fun with a wok and made a lot in the back yard because it was a flame thrower. LOL |
