Trivia

It is claimed that it took a while before potatoes were accepted in America. It took seven Atlantic crossings before this could happen. Potatoes were not really known until Benjamin Franklin discovered them. During the time he was ambassador to France, he attended a banquet hosted by Parmentier and potato was served there in about 20 different ways. He returned to America and reported his discovery. It became known in America this way and the trend set by Franklin became more popular that before long, colonies and remote region of the western frontier began to plant potatoes.
