Why was bread impossible to have without the Colombian exchange?

also side note: we are having a coloumbian exchange potluck in my class in a couple days, do you think its okay if i bring *Hawaiian Bread Rolls as my bread? or should I even bring bread.

Europe would be much poorer in food crops without the Columbian Exchange. Potatoes a staple in Ireland, Vodka in Russia, and raised throughout Europe and Africa would not exist. Corn or maize would not have been available to Europe and Africa. Maize quickly became the staple food crop in Africa.
