Potatoes

Potatoes I was on old steamer once it was loaded with Idaho potatoes and bound for Peru it was not much fun with the potatoes came rats and insects but we got rid of them, the rats when unloading a Lima Port, but there was a plague of crabs that came onboard in Lima, but that was not the blame of the potatoes. I had thought the root vegetable potato was discovered In Peru and brought Europe, I don`t if this was a blessing seeing so many fat children filling their faces with Pommes Frites. When eating out, I make it quite clear I don`t want any potatoes having seen a thousand rat dancing on top of them but they still bring me potatoes; I used to give them to my dog she got fat and had a heart attack I had one too, but that was caused by smoking. During the war when the Nazis occupied my country potatoes boiled with the skin on was the norm, my mother said the vitamins are under the skin, it could also be she hated peeling I remember she was throwing up in the sink she blamed the spuds But she was pregnant, and I didn`t know before I had a younger brother who was fed mashed potatoes
