I've heard mixed things about potatoes, maybe it depends on the climate?
Some old sailing literature shows that they were carried on longer coyages,
joshua slocum carried a couple of barrels of potatos on the spray, but he
got a bad deal on rotten nasty potatoes in south america. He cant say
enough good things about potatoes.


yes, but what about that welsh salt who eat nothing but "burgaboo" or
something. A layered mixture of whiskey soaked oatmeal and pureed
sardines. He also fed this to a dog. Can you imagine the stench?
