I love weird food facts. So here's my next question:
The most widely cultivated variety of THIS worldwide staple food was already being cultivated ten millennia ago by the Chono, a group of people who became extinct in the 1870's.

It happened one night; one flew over the coocoo's nest (sp), and Silence of the lambs.
Oscars are another hobby of mine.
I received something in the room in which Vivien Leigh received her 1939 oscar for Gone with the Wind.

Tomatoes on display at Borough Market in London, England.
Tomatoes were not grown in England until the 1590s[4]:17. One of the earliest cultivators was John Gerard, a barber-surgeon.[4]:17 Gerard's Herbal, published in 1597 and largely plagiarized from continental sources[4]:17, is also one of the earliest discussions of the tomato in England. Gerard knew that the tomato was eaten in Spain and Italy[4]:17. Nonetheless, he believed that it was poisonous[

Sorry Scout, it's been hard to think of fun the last few days. I'll try to do better. Here's the question for everyone and it's a two-parter:
"What staple of the European diet was once considered poison in Britain and America? What is its nickname and why was it named that?"

I'm going to choose 'truth' because I've had bread made with 400 year old starter and it was marvelous. How did I do?

That is exactly my understanding as well, Scout. Well played! Your turn.
In biblical times if you were of a higher station you had the right to backhand someone of a lower station. If someone then turned the other cheek it posed a dilemma for the person who struck them. They could choose to strike them with their fist thereby challenging them to fight which in effect put them on the same social level. As I understand it this practice was, in effect, asking for equality.
