old man emu Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Can't wait to find out how this ends.[ATTACH=full]2670[/ATTACH] It's just a mishmash of rumour and innuendo.
willedoo Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Can't wait to find out how this ends. Peter, don't laugh, but I think it would be an interesting book. Years ago, National Geographic ran a main cover story on potatoes. I looked at the cover and thought they were clutching at straws trying to pad out a feature article on the humble spud. It turned out to be one of the best covers I'd read in that magazine. They covered a lot of things that would be in that book. Starting with their origin in South America with photos and descriptions of all the original varieties (most looked like a removed appendix). It moved on to their introduction to Europe, and the resistance to them due to fear of witchcraft (being a solanaceae species, related to tomatoes and nightshade. Nightshade was associated with witchcraft). The story was that the British adopted them many years before the French would, which led to many otherwise preventable deaths in the French famine. Then there's the Irish famine, and it went on to tell about how the potato was a major factor in the defeat of Hitler in WW2. As the Nazis advanced on the Soviet farmlands, Soviet scientists and workers gathered as many as they could and retreated to winter over in caves where they maintained constant fires throughout the winter to prevent the seed stock from freezing and being spoilt. This enabled new crops to be later planted to feed the Red Army during their pushback against the Nazis. And Potatoes not only won the war, they make good chips as well. Cheers, Willie.
