Tobacco. The first news on the tobacco appear in Columbus's Diary, where the text expressed that between the November 2nd. and 5th. of 1492, the Spaniards in the Cuban coast, met the first plant of tobacco. Starting from November 6th, of that same year began the habit of using tobacco with medicinal functions and illnesses that the Spaniards were suffering. Among them could be pointed out:
- The use of bandages of green leaves of tobacco semi-cooked to treat the headache.
- The placement of green leaves to expel parasites out of the children. The first
Europeans that made contact with tobacco were Spaniards that Columbus sent to explore the
interior of Cuba island, these people were Rodrigo de Jerez and Luis Torres. They traveled
the banks of the river along the Banks of Caunao river in Cuba.
Seeds of the tobacco plant were taken to Spain in 1492 sent by Fray Ramon Pane to Carlos V
from La Hispaniola.
The first tobacco factory in Seville, Spain, was installed in 1763, with tobacco sent from Santo Domingo.
Potato. The Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to come in contact with potatoes. The Spanish сonquistadors carried potatoes back to their homeland aboard their ships. The Spaniards also saw the potato as a source of food for the slaves, forced to work in Spanish silver mines in Bolivia. Potatoes became a common food for Spanish sailors during their crossings of the Atlantic. The first written record of a European encounter with potatoes was penned in 1537 by Castellanos, a Spanish conquistador. Instead of gold and silver, they found maize, beans, and truffles. From reading Castellanos' diary we now know these truffles were in fact potatoes. Originally it was believed that the potato was native to Virginia. After its original introduction into Spain by returning conquistadors, the potato spread slowly across Europe. At first the plant was treated with fear. Fear of the potato lasted for centuries, as some people believed that it was dirty, primitive, or unhealthy. However, others began to recognize the potato as a medicinal plant. The Spanish were the first Europeans to appreciate the potato as a delicacy.
Maize- Caribbean and South American name for corn.
In Native American usage, the word for corn means "our life," or "our mother" It was from the Native Americans that the first European settlers learned about corn. Native Americans had spent hundreds of years developing what we now know as corn. Long before Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492, Native Americans were cultivating this grass in North, Central, and South America. Native American farmers in the Ohio River Valley had been growing corn for more than 1,700 years before the first white men crossed the Appalachian Mountains. Corn was on the first Thanksgiving table in 1621. If it had not been for corn, the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony might have starved to death during their first year in America. The Indians taught settlers how to grow corn and how to cook with it.
Now, let us read and translate your texts. (После ответа другие ребята из класса дополняют или исправляют отвечающих)
