I knew a few potatoe farmers in my time. Hmmmm ... vitamin C eh? Whew! No wonder when the Irish ran out of potatoes they all came over here in rowboats! Run out of potatoes and you are out of a country! Makes you wonder why people waste time chasing steak across the plains when they can stay home and eat tubers and watch the tube.

Hey! Waiteeress! Make that a dozen of them purple potatoes and easy on the cheese! Put a rush on it will yah? We are some short of fibre, potass-ee-um and C-vits there, girlie! Man alive, that there E-Bay tradin' works up a powerful cravin for them earth apples don't it?

Did you know that prior to the brits invadin' Ireland back in King Henry the VIII's day, the patate was practically a stranger to the table. They brought it back from the new world as an experiment to feed their new found slaves, the Irish, and cheaply. Many people were dubious of its food quality and thought as they once did the tomatoe that it might be poisonous. (Tomatoes, after all, are a member of the same family as Deadly Nightshade.)
