Alcohol? Vodka! Starch to make bread? Potato starch! 2 potatoes? 1 potato in the ground!

potatoes are one of the few foods you can eat exclusively and survive for long periods of time

Is there a country where potatoes are not eaten?

It's essentially an untapped vessel for world peace, if you think about it.

I don't think that's hyperbole either. It's a nutritionally complete food that's fairly easy to grow, to ship, and it holds up for a very long time without refrigeration.

The only place I've been lucky to visit where I didn't see potatoes was Costa Rica. Rice and black beans all day every day. Indians seem to like them very well. I don't know about other southeast Asian countries, China, or Japan but it seems unlikely they eat so much.

Irish famine. Edit: there is not a potato for every occasion.

Just remember all the nutrition is in the skin!
