Mustard in the Columbian Exchange
You don't have to travel far to come across the best condiment ever: mustard. This tangy concoction is created by grinding up mustard seeds and mixing the powder into a paste. It can then be added to literally anything for a sweet, pungent taste. Personally, I eat mustard with pretty much everything. However, non-mustard addicts usually eat mustard with hotdogs, hamburgers, sandwiches and other meats. Not only is mustard extremely tasty, it has many health benefits too. It has been known to prevent cancer, high blood pressure, migraines and asthma. Because of its abounding advantages, mustard has been assigned its own holiday. National Mustard Day is officially August 4th.
The exact history of mustard is unknown. However, mustard seeds can be dated back to Stone Age civilizations. There is additional evidence that it was a primary spice used across ancient Europe, Asia and Egypt. The mustard that we eat with most of our foods today, also called 'white mustard' originated in the Mediterranean region. It made its way over to America through a massive exchange of food, animals and people across the Atlantic Ocean known as the Columbian Exchange. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla beans were also brought to the Americas from the Old World during this event. In return, the New World offered potatoes, chili peppers and tomatoes to the Old World. At first, these foods were not welcomed however, they eventually acclimated to the environment and were able to be grown successfully. We can all be thankful for the Columbian Exchange because without it, there would be no mustard and who could live in a world without mustard? I know I couldn't.

Coffee
Coffee Ingredients: • Sugar • Coffee • Milk • Water Anahi Valdez- Gomez AP World History Mr. Benschine 13 December, 2013 Coffee traveling around the world! It was a cold and weary Monday morning. I was dreading writing a 5000 word essay on the Columbian exchange. I mean who cares about fruits and vegetables and animals and seeds and spices being exchanged around across the sea??! Nobody does! I took a deep breath and calmed down, I was freaking out! *breathes in and out* I took a second to think, I became even more tired and stressed out as I thought more and more about the essay. Therefore I did what I always do; I went and prepared myself a cup of coffee. 5 minutes later the smell of delicious coffee flourished throughout my house and filled the air with the rich smell of coffee. Then I realized it had been right under my nose the whole time! Coffee! It was a part of the Columbian exchange! Coffee comes from Africa. It was exchanged from the old world to the new world. Another ingredient is sugar. In order to create a zesty coffee you should add sugar which also comes from the old world to the new world. Another ingredient is milk! You can't have amazing coffee without milk. Milk comes from cows and cows were also involved in the Columbian Exchange from the old world to the new world. It seems so perfect the way coffee is made. The fact that every ingredient came from the old world to the new world seems amazing. Coffee is truly amazing and unique. No other ingredients from the Columbian exchange can come together and form one special treat. -Anahi Valdez Gomez |
Alphonso's Deep Dish Last night, while watching the MTV, I found myself craving some pepperoni. I figured I could take a trip down to Alphonso’s Italian Pizza for a bite of real deep dish Italian Pizza. I called up my coolest friend Benschie to accompany me to the rab shack of a restaurant. When we arrived the waitress sat us at our table. Next to us sat an old man, at the age of 82, and his granddaughter. Benschie and I overheard the old man talking about the Columbian exchange. Benschie turned to the man to get his name. The old man said, “Well hello younging, I go by the name of Gus, and this is my granddaughter, Therese." Benschie decided to ask Gus what he knew of the Columbian Exchange silence he was a history Geek. Gus said he was a part of the Columbian Exchange. Meanwhile, I’m sitting at the table, in silence starring at the three converse. The waitress comes along and asks what I would like, since it seems like I am the only one starving I order without the others knowing. I order a deep dish pizza with extra tomato sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. Gus over hears me ordering and yells, "Hey let me tell you all about pizza and its role in the Columbian Exchange!" I am not interested, but Benschie is all ears for this one. Gus starts off by explaining pizza's origin. Pizza is from Naples, a city in southern Italy. The story of pizza is not very interesting but it gets exciting when we reach the topic of pizza toppings. Gus says, "Let's talk about tomato sauce." Tomatoes are a New World food. It came from the Americas and was transferred to Europe, Asia, and Africa. Fun Facts: Europeans thought tomato was poisonous because many would eat the tomato off their pottery, and their pottery had lead in it. Gus also implied the history of peppers. Peppers originated in Central and South America. They traveled from the New world to the old. Benschie, cut Gus off and added that "peppers were an important crop because they could be used as a decorative item, spicy treat, and also for medical." In the midst of all the talk about the Columbian exchange. My yummy pizza arrived at the table. Everyone stop talking and glanced at my pizza. Everyone took a look and said, "Ewww Anchovies!" I laughed and said how about a little history on anchovies since we are making a late night bite for pizza, a AP World History class. -Tamiah |
