"A man accustomed to American food and American domestic cookery would not starve to death suddenly in Europe, but I think he would gradually waste away, and eventually die."

'A Tramp Abroad', Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) (1835-1910)

�This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?�

Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)
