[Northkeep] potatoes (was Margrave)

[Miriam Cook]

Potatoes were introduced into Ireland during the later
1600's-- so within a hundred years of a later-period
persona.  I think that a lot of people think that our
"period" ends with the death of Elizabeth in 1603, so
a person(a) born right at the end of her reign would
maybe (if they lived as long as we do now, which was
unlikely but possible) have seen potatoes in Ireland.

Reality is merely and illusion, albeit a persistent one.
                                -----A. Einstein
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously, it's only life after all.  ---Indigo Girls "Closer to Fine"
