Food from around the world
We eat a lot of different kinds of food
today. Before the 16thcentuary, people in Europe didn’t have a lot of the
things that we can eat and drink every day.
At the end of the 15th century, people
from Europe started to travel to other parts of the world. They went to
America, Africa and Asia. They brought back a lot of new kinds of food.
Chocolate came from Mexico. The Aztecs
there drank chocolate with pepper! The Spanish brought chocolate to Europe and
they were first to put sugar in it. Until the 1870s, chocolate was always a
drink. The Swiss made the first bar of chocolate in 1876.
Tomatoes, peppers and avocados all came
from Mexico, too. The Spanish took seeds back to Spain and started to grow the
plants there. Soon they spread to other countries in Europe and then to other
parts of the world . The words tomato, chocolate and avocado all come from the
old Aztec language.
Potatoes came from South America. Potatoes
like cold, wet weather.
They grew in the mountains of Peru.
Sweetcorn (or maize) came from North
America. Turkeys came from North America, too. They didn’t come from Turkey!
Coffee came from Africa. The Turks take it
to Turkey and then to Europe.
Tea came from China in the 17th century.
At first it was very expensive and only rich people drank it, but in the 19th

was cheap and everybody drank it.
