Hello autism
because you're probably 15-years-old OP and think pedant posting on /tv/ is a hilarious new meme you are most likely unaware that references to potatoes and tomatoes actually did cause a big autistic imbroglio when the movies came out. however new world crops are mentioned by name in the books. PJ even talks about the controversy in the FOTR extended commentary during the weathertop scene.

more importantly what was denethors tax plan?

Gondor is set in a fictional universe, not in Europe. Which makes it even more egregious that there weren't no black people in LotR.

It would have been the 16th century. Columbus and his boys didn't arrive in Hispaniola until 1492, at the tail end of the 15th century.
It's possible that tomatoes could have been brought back after his 1492 or 1493 voyage, though it's probably more likely that they were brought to Europe after the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the 1520s.

It was probably native to Numenor or their Sea Kings discovered them as they lead their fleets to reave and plunder the rest of the planet.

Why didn't Denethor have a menu?

They added asians and blacks into the hobbit and guess what?
It pulled me right out of the fucking movie when they appeared, I was no longer watching a mediocre cgi fairy tail romp and instead was staring at diversity quotas.
