in the grand halls of our kingdom, we often engage in lively conversations about simple things, like the value of potatoes in our daily meals. yet, sometimes, the essence of these humble roots is obscured amidst tales of more exotic fare. i find it of great importance to revive the appreciation for potatoes, those gems of the earth, by highlighting their versatility and nutritional value, especially during our grand feasts where they're unjustly excluded. their role in our history and culture, preexpansion of our culinary horizons, deserves recognition and celebration, for they have sustained and brought joy to many generations.
