REAL NAMES OF FISH & CHIP SHOPS

POTATOES

Sir Walter Raleigh introduced potatoes to Europe in the late 16th century and grew them at his Irish estate near Cork.

When the potato was introduced here, religious leaders denounced it because it wasn’t mentioned in the Bible.

Potatoes are grown worldwide in over 125 countries (even in space – in 1995). China is the world’s largest producer.

The Quechua Indians of South America have more than 1,000 different names for potatoes.

Potatoes are the world’s fourth food staple – after wheat, corn and rice.

Every year enough potatoes are grown worldwide to cover a four-lane motorway circling the world six times.

The potato is about 80 per cent water and 20 per cent solids and is related to the tomato and tobacco.
