T-Rex: What was Julius CAESAR's favourite salad?
T-Rex: Potato!
T-Rex: Ha ha! It's funny because it's unexpected.
Utahraptor: Yes, potatoes were not introduced to Europe
Utahraptor: until the 16th century! Caesar couldn't have had them! Very unexpected!
T-Rex: !
T-Rex: Now it just doesn't make sense.

The author writes:

And croutons were only introduced to Europe from the East Indies in the 17th century by Portuguese traders.
