Interesting facts about the common potato

The potato plant is such a common choice these days, it seems that at least one meal a day in the Western Hemisphere, especially in winter when mashed and baked potatoes are great comfort food. However, the potato was one of resentment and suspicion. It is a member of the family Solanaceae, which is a nightshade, so it has some toxins in its stems and leaves, and really should not eat one that has green Tings on it. Its Latin name, Solanum tuberosum, is the root, while reassuring word potato has its roots in the Peruvian language Quecha - batata name now given to the family of sweet potato and yam. Our potato originated in the Andes in South America some 8,000 years ago, and was cultivated by people with 6000 years ago according to archaeological remains. They were "discovered" by Spanish explorers of the 16th century and was taken back to Spain, where they had a mixed reception.

Sir Walter Raleigh, English Buccaneer is credited with them to Britain in 1589 and grew up on his estate near Cork in Ireland. One story says that he introduced soothing root Queen Elizabeth I ordered a banquet to be ready for a new plant in each course. Unfortunately, nobody bothered to tell the cooks how to cook, so that threw tubers and fed guests stems and flowering tops, all of which contain toxins. Courtiers fell ill, some fatally, and potatoes was banned from the royal court.

They did not fare better in France, as they were thought to be the root cause of all illness and premature death. One decree ruled that as the cause of leprosy, which was prohibited from growing "pain in right." However, the potato came into its own in France, when Antoine-Auguste Parmentier (his name lives on in culinary circles as a description of almost thin potato sticks), who was imprisoned in Germany, and fed a diet of potatoes, he returned to France. He created a banquet, which had more success than the English, and popularized the potato at the court of Louis XIV. Peasants who did not eat at the time would not touch potatoes until Louis set guards around the potato patch-clever ruse, as peasants, thinking that they were very valuable stolen. After the tubers became popular. Marie-Antoinette and her court ladies wore flowers of potato plants in their hair as decoration.

Writing in the late 19 century, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 -1900), German philosopher, wrote that "a diet consisting mainly of rice, leads to the use of opium, as well as a diet that consists predominantly of potatoes leads to alcohol use." This could be a generalization, but it is perhaps good to know that the Russians use potatoes for vodka, while the Irish, who grows potatoes for centuries, is called moonshine Potcheen with potatoes.
