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.
Potatoes, some sort of boiled dough, and some sort of raw meat dish show up in basically every culture around the world
