    Potatoes and tomatoes are definitely some of the best things that came from the Americas. I can’t imagine having to live without them.

      Other places in the world thankfully have edible roots and tubers still, so lives centuries ago weren’t completely wasted by virtue of having stuff like turnips and yams and so on, but there really is no substitute for the tomato.
