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
I’ve even heard rumors of some people boiling and then eating them!
No way! Like in a stew?
For example!
I HAVE to write this down!
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.
Doner wth fries is very common where I am
Kebab on chip, house sauce, hold the tomatoes.
and vegetables
Seems the most logical place however potato bread has seen use.
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.
Exploitation led to potato being relied upon near exclusively due to how cheap it was per calorie. So when the famine hit, it affected many places but it affected Ireland uniquely severely.
Starve to death.
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.
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
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Climate Change motherfucker… Go for sweet potatoes instead? There’s a lot of vegetables from which crisps can be made.
