COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE MENU

Imagine that it is the year 1592 in Seville, Spain... You are the head chef at a popular restaurant. In honor of the 100th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World, you decide to create a delicious, but educational menu that demonstrates the impact of the Columbian Exchange on the foods we enjoy. Your menu must be neat, creative and accurate.

  1. Title the three columns on each side of the paper Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
