Bratkartoffeln or German fries with fried onion and seasoning are absolutely kino. In Poland we have a dish called "Hungarian pancake" which is a regular potato pancake but bigger and served with goulash and sour cream on top

Hi fellow potato chad. After reading about the Irish famine I spent a month living exclusively on Potatoes, milk, and butter †. I don't remember any particular things I read, but one idea I encountered that I thought interesting was the perculiar 19th century attitude that it was more modern and sophisticated to be underfed and somewhat malnourised, as the white-bread-and-dripping eating urbanites were at the time, and that by contrast, to be robust and virile - as the cottier farmers were prior to the famine - was savage and regressive. In a way I think there are parallels to be drawn with the modern age, where it is considered almostt boorish to be mentally strong and resilient, while to have a delicate mental state seems often to be a status symbol (c.f. mental health conditions in twitter bios and tiktokers bragging about their diagnoses). Just a thought that I might expand on at some point.

Anyway I also would enjoy reading materials on the excellent potato. Did you know that the potato is actually a good source of complete protein? Most people just regard it as empty carbs but in fact it is very nutritional.

Hamsun wrote his first book in Danish since the languages didn't seperate until the 1907 reform.
Og om du faktisk lærer dansk vil du relativt enkelt kunne lese norsk

>>18886639
No, not the plot, just an event.

Rice, potatoes, oatmeal. The big three. I wish I could like beans but they make me fart so much that my ass starts to hurt a day after I eat them. Noodles are good too but you just can't eat them by themselves. Shit gets a little too complicated
