If potatoes disappeared, i would probably just not eat potatoes. May need to eat more bread because of it, from 94.3% of all food i eat to 94.6% of all food i eat

The way I heard it, great potato famine wasn’t as big a deal as the extreme exploitation, colonization, and failure of industrialization as well as landlords and religious apartheid that began earlier.

Which very much surprised me.

Doner with potato? WTF. Where I come from, “Döner” is meat and vegetables in flatbread, I don’t see where potato is supposed to come in.

Either way, before potatoes were introduced in my country, most people ate bread or grain-based porridges/gruels with every meal. Since it was usually wholegrain, that might even have been healthier than peeled potatoes.

You guys would be amazed how much potato meal is used for

Potato starch goes into paper and board manufacturing, textiles, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and also food as a thickener.

Some potatoes are also fermented into alcohol (vodka) or bioethanol

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Climate Change motherfucker

Depends on how you define, “potato.” There are some really similar tube roots, like sweet potato and batatas. Taro, beets, parsnips and other veggies make really good chips.

Starve to death.
