Potatoes
Potatoes grew wild in Peru, a country of South America, from where they were transplanted to other parts of the American continent, and then to Europe. The honour of introducing this valuable vegetable into England is divided between Sir Francis Drake in 1580 and Sir Walter Raleigh in 1586, some ascribing it to the former, and others to the latter. It is certain that they were obtained from Virginia at the time of Raleigh; they were planted only in the gardens of the rich people and were considered a great delicacy. They are now the staple food in most countries of Europe and America; in Ireland, they have long provided nearly 80% of the entire food of the people.
