Same here in the UK though people abbreviate as we always do, like if someone says sprouts in the UK everyone knows they mean Brussels sprouts. That said, this is all surely an origin of cultivation as far as we know it. I find it hard to believe that a raspberry or blackberry, for example, was not spread all over by birds since that's kinda what they to do and certain other fruits would be spread by animals on foot, though much slower, relatively speaking. Also, by now fruit and veg have been purposefully bred by us humans so that many do not resemble the original wild versions, eg white carrots, non-sterile bananas, less apple/grape varieties and so on.

1:11 Eh, regarding blueberries... There's a difference between vaccinium corymbosum and vaccinium myrtillus... Yes, vaccinium corymbosum is native to North America only, however vaccinium myrtillus is common in Europe and all the way from Greenland in the west to Siberia in the east. Vaccinium myrtillus was likely a part of the diet of Europeans already during the ice age... I have no idea about when cultivation started though...

Neither the tomato nor the potato spread _quickly_ to northern cuisine. In case of the potato, it took well into the 1700s until the potato became a staple food for most of the population of Northern Europe. The dependence on the potato is much younger than people often expect. The rise of the tomato in Northern Europe came a bit later but at a roughly similar time. Also, the fears about being a night shade plant were not entirely unreasonable. The green parts of both the potato and the tomato are mildly toxic.

European Blueberries or Bilberrues are actually a different species in the same genus. The commercially produced ones you buy in the store are north American blueberries though of course they are grown in other parts of the world as well now. Bilberrues are edible but much more difficult to grow and transport so they've never really been cultivated to the same extent.

Yes, the wild blueberries and strawberries, that you can find all over European forests, are native species. And they're much tastier than their bigger, often industrially grown relatives. There's a type of domesticated strawberry, though, that resembles the forest strawberry in taste more closely. It's called Mieze Nova and can be kept in a flower pot. The strawberries are a little bit smaller than those of the usual garden variant, but much bigger than that of the wild strawberry.

There are more fruits native to North America than most think. The Concord grape is one. There are several plums and a persimmon. The pawpaw is a wonderful fruit that because of its short shelf life is not marketed much. Many traditional varieties are not as commonly used today as 50 years ago. Many things commonly known to Latin and South America might have cultivated farther north but not written down.

Thank you for this. Two notes, it is a very long time since anybody in Australia or New Zealand refered to Kiwi fruit as Chinese gooseberry and the spread of sweet potato through the pacific island cultures most likely came directly from the Americas via the long range sailing vessels these people used.

Why these fruits and vegetables spread throughout the world while others didn't is a mystery. There are still many kinds of fruits and veggies that are just popular in the countries/regions where they are found at present and never made it to the mainstream world market...lanzones, star apple, custard apples/cherimoya, java plum, soursop, bitter gourd, sponge gourd, horse radish, jicama, zucchini, calabasa/squash, chinese swamp cabbage, etc. Papaya was not mentioned however, as well as chayote (alligator pear). How about durian? Well I guess not because it stinks..literally!

There is a European blueberry too, it is smaller but taste more and grow wild over most of Scandinavia. I don't think you see it often outside North Europe though since the smaller berries means you earn less money growing it. On the plus side do we have so much that tens of thousands of people pick the wild every year. It might be that it is tastier since you pick them fresh in general instead of growing them in large greenhouses, but health nuts love them since they have more antioxidants. Also: I think you should have mentioned coffee. And yeah, coffee is a berry.

There are quite a number of relatively common fruits that didn't receive mention here. Quince, Gooseberry, currants, pomegranate, elderberry, persimmon, jujube, pepino, tomatillo, guava, durian (My nose understands why this was not mentioned), mamey, longan or rambutan, cherimoya, sapote, papaw, passion fruit and did I miss cassava, yuca, malanga, beets, cucumbers and squash/pumpkins. I suppose fennel and celery could also be classed as herbs. There are also numerous leafy green vegetables aside from the mentioned spinach and lettuce.
