Some of the foods we love today, such as potatoes, tomatoes, and chocolate, would not exist in our cuisine if Columbus had not discovered the Americas. They all originated from the New World. The spice trade would also be very different, without chili peppers to add some heat to European dishes. Imagine how different history would be if the native cultures of the Americas were not affected by European colonization, and if Europe did not benefit from the resources of the New World. In a world without Columbus's journeys, our taste buds would be different and maybe we would live in a world where fries are just fries, without any chili!
