Have you recorded your selections? Ready for the answer(s)???
ANSWER: All of the choices are wrong!
All of the selections shown have a
Native
American food as their main
ingredient!
The tomato in Pizza and Italian Tomato
Sauce are a Native American food that
was
unknown to Columbus before his voyage.
All the different kinds of potatoes
were
Native American. Tacos were a favorite
food of Native Americans but unknown
to
Columbus. All types of corn including
popcorn, as well as pecans, peanuts,
pinto
beans, and cranberries were Native
American foods. The flavorings of
vanilla
and chocolate were Native American.
Even the paprika in Hungarian Goulash
was a
Native American spice unknown to
anyone
in Europe before 1492!
Hope you are having a happy holiday!
