Book Corner 2025.2

by Brette Warshaw

What I learned:

  • Stout and porter were only invented in the 1700s. Guinness was the first stout.
  • Broccolini was invented in the 1990s and first called “Asparation”. Because it was like “asparagus.” Um, yeah.
  • The first rum distillery in North America went up in the 1600s on none other than… Staten Island.
