I was sitting around drinking some coffee, chewing some chocolate and having a smoke, after having a great dinner of popcorn and chips and I was wondering.
All these amazing foods and chemicals were things brought to Europe and asia from America.
Did Europe bring anything delicious to the new world? Milk, wine etc? Or was our continent pretty sucky in the delicious stuff department?
Food-wise the most important thing Europe brought to the Americas were labor animals, which could be used to cultivate more crops. The only thing that the Americas had for domesticated labor sources were Alpacas, whereas Europe had oxen, horses, etc. They also brought over pigs and cows which weren't found in the Americas either. This period was called the Colombian Exchange.
Some animals Europe brought include:
Horses
Donkeys
Mules
Pigs
Cows
Sheep
Goats
Chickens
Various Large Dogs
Cats
Bees (damn them)

Taste's vary, so I'll have to go Jeopardy! and phrase my answer in the form of a question.
How do you feel about bread and beer- wheat, barley and rye were all old world crops. As already noted, most of our domestic meat animal were old world (turkeys being an exception.), so do you like steak? Sugarcane was grown in the old world, do you fancy the taste of sugar?
