In the 1500s\u00a0Queen Catherine (Catherine Parr &#8211; 1512\u20131548 &#8211; sixth wife of Henry the Eighth of England), would send a servant by boat from London, down the River Thames &amp; across the English Channel, to France &#8211; to get a &#8216;take-away salad&#8217; &amp; bring it back to her! ~ The simple fact of the introduction of the growth of green vegetables into these islands was sufficient to do for the people what all the art of the doctors could not do &#8211; improve their health and remove pestilence from amongst them. It was not until the end of the reign of Henry the Eighth (died 1547) that any salads, carrots, turnips, and other edible roots were produced in England. The wealthy had imported vegetables before that time from Holland and Flanders, and Queen Catherine, when she wished for a salad, was obliged to send for it by special messenger to the Continent. ~ &#8211;\u00a0Mr. Gibson Ward, F.R.Hist.S. &#8211; in &#8211;\u00a0The Cause and Spread of Leprosy.
