    South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And
    although it was very expensive, it quickly became popular, In London, shops where chocolate drinks
    were served became important places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World.

    during the years of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to go to live in America.

    drink by Arabs during the 1400s. According to an Arabic story, coffee was discovered when a goat
