[Sca-cooks] Re: Potatoes? Period?

You can also hunt up a copy of
The History and Social Influence
of the Potato by Redcliffe Salaman.
1949. reprinted with introduction and
corrections by J. G. Hawkes, C.U.P., 1985.
By the time you read all 600 plus pages of
it then you'll have a pretty good grasp of
what happened or might have happened with
the potato through history.
