One correction and fun fact: We absolutely had bamboo.

The bamboo you can see in Spain is the American one and now that I think about it, to call it bamboo it's a relatively recent thing, thirty years ago it was most commonly known as american cane.

It’s almost exclusively called River Cane here. Probably why nobody thinks it’s bamboo.

I'd also argue us in the Old World didn't suffer without cranberries - we always had the similarly delicious Vaccinium vitis-idaea.

I actually prefer it to cranberries
