As I walked in the korean resturant with my grandma, a nice old korean lady greeted me. I sat down and the waitress came in with my hot tea and my appetizers. She gave me rice, bean sprouts, and some weird mysterious brown gelatin substance. As I started playing with the mysterious subtance, I looked at the menu to see what I wanted. There were so many things to chose from, but finally I decieded to get the spicy sundae soup. The lady came over and I took my order. As I waited for my soup, I started watching a very dramatic korean drama. Even though I had no clue what they were saying.... Finally the waitress came and said, "Here is the best soup ever. It has the good sausage that make you smarter!"
As I was enjoying my delicous soup, I realized that most of these ingredients were part of the Columbian Exchange. The sausage was mostly made up of beef blood, rice, and green onions which went from the Old World to the New World. And the potatoes and corn transferred from the New World to the Old World. The most important indgredient that flavored the whole entire soup were the peppers, and they transferred from the New World to the Old World. And the hot and delicous tea transferred the Old World to the New World, and the so did the rice. The salty bean sprouts travelled from the New to the Old World. And the brown gelatin substance..... Im not exactly sure..
Hmm.. I know a lot about the Colombian Exchange.. Maybe the sausage does make you smarter..
