The Most Versatile Food

Bake me, Bacon me
     Mash me, Smash me
     Scallop me, Salad me
     Fry me, try me

     I'm a potato
     The most versatile food
     Dozens of ways
     to make me taste good

And how Scotland advised by an English woman, FROM THE FUTURE, HIGHLANDER NETFLIX, survived hunger in the bloody war of Culloden for Scotlands independence from Britain by planting many many potatoes in the 1740's I love potatoes done any way, and which I learnt on my last trip to England and briefly to Scotland are also called SPUDS . Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

They call potatoes 'spuds' here too, Jennifer.
