The
use of potatoes for a meal was acceptable in common use for a short
time when you consider the history of other types of vegetables we eat, For the longest time no one would eat a potato or if
they did eat potatoes, they mistakenly or ignorantly prepared and ate
the leaves and stems of the plant rather than the root or tuber of the
plant. The leaves and stems of course, are poisonous and will make you
very ill. The tuber or root part of this particular plant is the edible
part.
The history of the potato is really very interesting. It is a plant and vegetable part of the world, but eventually made his way in the world. A plant that has been revered and worshiped by the ancients. It is a vegetable that almost no room there for a long time unless you have to. A plant that has long been in the mid- 1700s became popular for use in your hair if you were a woman in France at the time of Marie Antoinette, because she liked to wear these delicate flowers in her hair.
