Europeans were suspicious when potatoes reached the continent. Some called these strange things that grew in the ground the "Devil's Apple" and associated them with the supernatural and demons.
The Aristocracy wouldn't eat them. They were dirty. They were food for animals and lowly folk.

things I learned while writing about potatoes yesterday:
- I knew there were a lot of varieties but I didn't know it was in the thousands. About 5,000 or so.
- the potato, of course, was originally cultivated in the Andes, there's a 12,000 acre "Potato Park" in Peru to conserve potato biodiversity and indigenous knowledge of that diversity. here's an interesting piece on that. https://www.boell.de/en/2016/01/25/potato-park-peru
