The Old Foodie: Wartime Potatoes.
Being a potato lover, I enjoyed reading these enticements to increased potato consumption. I'm curious, though, as to what starchy food was the norm in Britain before the potato came into favor? Was there a single starch that ruled the table, or were there several that shared the honors?
Hi Pieter B. It was bread, absolutely. And thick (very thick) pie crust. But bread, especially.
