The Artful Dodger Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I don't think anyone's ever claimed the Irish invented the potato (a ridiculous idea to think anyone 'invented it')it became synonymous with Ireland because of the deliberately exacerbated blight of the potato, which poor Irish relied on, by the British state which resulted in the decimation of the Irish population.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 21, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted November 21, 2018 It's like what came first, the chicken or the egg? well, according to this it was the...egg. "If the question refers to eggs in general, the egg came first. The first amniote egg—that is, a hard-shelled egg that could be laid on land, rather than remaining in water like the eggs of fish or amphibians—appeared around 312 million years ago. In contrast, chickens are domesticated descendants of red junglefowl and probably arose little more than eight thousand years ago, at most." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
