    Thousands of years ago, people only ate food that was grown near their homes. Some kinds of food were
only grown in one place, so people from other places didn't know about them. When Europeans first traveled
to Central and South America in the 1500s, they discovered strange kinds of food that they had never seen
before. Today, these are grown in a lot of different countries and they're sold in supermarkets all over the
world. They don't seem strange any more!
    Potatoes were first grown in the Andes in South America. In 1586, they were taken to Europe by explorers (探險家). In 1719, they were taken to North America. Before 1719, nobody in North America had ever seen
or eaten a potato. Today each American eats more than 60 kilos of potatoes a year.
    Tomatoes were also first grown by native (本地的) Americans. When European explorers visited the south
of America in 1500, they took tomato seeds (種子) back to Europe. Soon, tomatoes were grown in Europe,
but people in England didn't eat them. At that time, a lot of English people thought that tomatoes were
poisonous!
    Chilies (辣椒) have been eaten in Central and South America for more than 8,000 years! In the 1500s,
chilies were taken to Europe by explorers. Today, they are grown in hot countries all over the world.
