No, that isn’t a nightmare low-residue menu–it’s three different foods introduced in 1937.

And, for a few more factoids from the Food Timeline:

  • Beans and walnuts are the oldest of the 14 superfoods–their use dates back to 7000 BC.
  • Popcorn was invented about 3600 BC; butter wasn’t discovered until 600 years later.
  • Marshmallows and liquorice both date back to about 2000 BC.
  • I am older than Marshmallow Peeps but younger than Bisquick.

Thanks to Niek Hockx for this delicious linkage!
