No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Damn, I want that just for the name. And I'm not even a vegetarian!
I love the name. And the cookbook. It is absolutely the best vegan cookbook I've seen -- it's got recipes for everything, with absolutely no store-bought fake meats or fake cheese (I'm still rolling my eyes at the "recipe" in the Skinny Bitch cookbook that's basically "heat up a frozen veggie burger, add a slice of fake cheese, put on a roll,") lots of really creative recipes, and everything I've tried has been delicious.

Art Crawl!!!
Ooh, I could make up similar recipes. Perhaps I should "write" a cookbook.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Corn is definitely Western Hemisphere, right?
In my head I have that being swapped for wheat, so yeah.

I hate Skinny Bitch. The original book, the cookbook, the whole concept. Hate it all. Aside from the abusive language, which I don't really care about but other people have said it reads exactly like the internal monologue of an anorexic, it starts off with "Stop putting all those chemicals and crap into your body!" and then ends with lists of vegan junk food and fake meats and cheeses. Honestly, if you're going for fewer chemicals, cheese from a farmers market dairy farmer beats Tofutti "cheese" easily.

The best immediate revenge for the Europeans for a new and improved form of syphilis.
As I recall, the earliest known cultivated grains in Eurasia were barley and ancestors of modern wheat. We're still only talking about 10,000 or so years, though, which is not very long in evolutionary terms. After all, we still don't really have the hang of walking upright. We should page Jars for more details. The New World crops included corn, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, chocolate, tobacco, squash and a number of beans.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Om nom nom nom.
Except for the tobacco.

Cranberries and blueberries are New World too, right?

Tobacco did change to world, but it may also be a long-term revenge on the Old World invaders. The most immediate revenge explorers brought back was new and improved syphilis.
