I lived in Germany for a few years. Aside from the cold, the hardest part was not being able to find anything wrapped in a tortilla, no jalapenos, no enchiladas, nothing!
@janton said you were funny. At first I thought he was standing up for a fellow Texan but that was hilarious! I’m Irish! The pesky famine killed millions. I’m still wondering why we didn’t just go fishing but I wouldn’t blame them really. I’d rather starve than eat a mackerel. Anyway how do you know so much about spuds? Apart from every Irish man eating potatos(spuds) every day , we do have a delicacy make from spuds called Tayto. A bag of Taytos is heaven itself. They are crisps. I think you guys call them chips over there for some strange reason. Il mail you one but they have a best before date. Il see what I can do. You must try a Tayto if you know so much about potatos.
Thanks for the high praise.
I honestly didn't know much about potatoes before I wrote this. I just like doing research on interesting things people might not think about and the more I dug, the more cool stuff I kept finding. It was as much of a journey for me as anyone else reading it.
I would love to try some Taytos. In return I'd be happy to send you some sort of American potato delicacy. I"m not sure how we'll swap info since Steem doesn't have a private message function.
This was supposed to be a paragraph in a post about a bunch of different food stuff but as I was doing my research more and more cool shit kept popping up and it wound up being its own whole post. I was like, "damn, Potato, you crazy."
hahaha! sir madgoat..this is another ..masterpiece of great writing. how you can make a history report on the potato so funny is...so funny. who can do this stuff? another hilarious and great job!

Best. Summary. Ever!

Dude, you write enough history shit like this and put it all together and you got yourself a fucking book!
Do it and sell that shit man
That is 100% the plan.
If there are any topics you'd like to see covered I'm open to suggestions.
I heard salt has a long and interesting history ( the word "salary" comes from salt, and celery tastes good with salt), you might look into it
Fuck, why didn't I think of salt?! That's fucking perfect. Thanks.
Damn. Didn't know potatoes were this cool, next time I eat fries, I'm going to kiss em first

entertaining read. I didn't know about Frederick the Great being the potato king.
Also Benny J Frank was totally an opium nut.
Birth of industrial fertilizer. I'm sure Florida is happy about that with its toxic algae blooms.
Thomas Jefferson loved opium so much he had huge poppy fields growing at his house that thrived until they were mowed down in the 1990's.
People don't respect plants enough I complained about this in my entry (Which BTW also touches on Potatoes and the Irish famine a bit)
Did you know that even through famine, the demand and cost of potatoes kept going up defying the supply and demand law?
I have to admit, I take a lot of things for granted, plants included. Although after writing this I'll never look at a potato the same.
hahaha! sir madgoat..this is another ..masterpiece of great writing. how you can make a history report on the potato so funny is...so funny. who can do this stuff? another hilarious and great job!
With praise like that, I can't ever stop writing now. Thanks for that shoutout you gave me the other day.
yes sir my pleasure madgoat and as far as the praise I was just trying to state the facts! lol
nice post! I couldnt tell if you ware creating history or you are an actual historian... :)
I'd call myself more of a drunk-historian. Truth is always so much more interesting than fiction.
