    305. Tomatoes from Mexico

    305. Tomatoes from Mexico

    Tomato seeds were brought from Mexico to Spain by those early explorers as part of the great Columbian exchange. From there the plant spread to Italy by the mid-1500s where it began to be incorporated into regional cuisine. Over the following decades, tomato plants were cultivated throughout Europe, but primarily as an ornamental plant.

Joseph Pascone ,

Great content!

Mark Vinet explores the history of North America through a unique lens; he has created an interesting and thoughtful show, which my partner and I both enjoy listening to. Great work!

Not afraid to take on the taboo topics

Mark Vinet’s podcast gives you an unvarnished look at the History of North America. He isn’t afraid to delve into the difficult topics, like slavery, but in an even-handed way.

Gamerathome ,

Suddenly political and far right

Episode 251 was the last straw. This podcast is very biased now. Leaving this dumpster fire before it gets worse
