Most foodstuffs that are common now, were known then. A big difference was the absence in almost all 30's households of fridges and freezers, and the practically non-existence at the time or refridgerated land and sea transport. This meant that people largely ate what was made, grown, caught or bred regionally and the choice of available fruits and vegetables was much determined by the season. So what people ate and when, varied widely depending on where they lived. But unless you travelled widely or regularly visited expensive restaurants, a lot of foodstuffs, tropical fruits etcetera would be no more than a name for most people in the Thirties.
