potatoes are one of the few foods you can eat exclusively and survive for long periods of time

They're really versatile, I'm even using one as a laptop.

Is there a country where potatoes are not eaten?

It's essentially an untapped vessel for world peace, if you think about it.

I don't think that's hyperbole either. It's a nutritionally complete food that's fairly easy to grow, to ship, and it holds up for a very long time without refrigeration.

The only place I've been lucky to visit where I didn't see potatoes was Costa Rica. Rice and black beans all day every day. Indians seem to like them very well. I don't know about other southeast Asian countries, China, or Japan but it seems unlikely they eat so much.

The ultimate goal of course is to install linux on an actual potato.

Does a sweet potato count?

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

An honorable mention for sure.

Irish famine. Edit: there is not a potato for every occasion.
