[Sacajaweau]

The pioneers in the north would have starved to death without potatoes. Tomatoes were a thing of the future.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The fact that Europe quit starving after the potato arrived and they started eating them is a stone cold fact.

People to this day leave potatoes on the grave of Fredrick the Great in recognition of the fact that he promoted their cultivation and so kept his people fed.
