      They even dont recognise the potato as a seperate entity. They really just call them pomme de terre (ground apple) and job’s a goodun.

      Ah but they’re not potatoes there… They’re ground apples (that’s the translation in case you’ve no French). Doesn’t count. Big pharma got in on the naming after a campaign by doctors who didn’t like them.
