medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Apologies for cross-posting and for the fact that this isn't about art or religion. I once read in a newspaper that legumes and pulses weren't introduced into European diets until the discovery of the Americas (though they were used in southern and eastern mediterranean). Does anyone know offhand of a scholarly reference for this? (The context, if you're wondering) is explaining the stocky nature of Giotto's peasants in the Arena Chapel.
