In Dex’s interesting article on the origin of the French Fry at http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mfrenchfry.html he mentions in passing that “The Protestants in northern Ireland and Scotland refused to plant [potatoes], since they were not mentioned in the Bible.”
This got me wondering about what other foods aren’t mentioned in the Bible. Obviously New World plants like peanuts and potatoes would be missing, but what else? I tried Googling for the answer but went down a lot of dead ends.
Can somebody point me to a comprehensive list of foods that are mentioned in the Bible?
