I found this earlier and thought I'd share it with you!
This bit I found amusing!..
"The potato was carried on to Italy and England about 1585...... Wherever the potato was introduced, it was considered weird, poisonous, and downright evil.
In France and elsewhere, the potato was accused of causing not only leprosy, but also syphilis, narcosis, scronfula, early death, sterillity, and rampant sexuality, and of destroying the soil where it grew"
...always worth keeping an open mind eh???
