Tomatoes, pepper and coffee



A visual history from Lapham's Quarterly.

A sample:

"850 BC - A goatherd legendarily eats coffee berries and dances after seeing his goats do the same; he then brings the berries to a monastery, where a monk throws them in the fire, creating fumes which are proclaimed divine."
