Also what do you see?
Oh shit is that potato blight?
Yup
The photos I’m seeing online look way worse than this one.
No I don’t think so, that turns the entire potato black, and it gets rotten along with it, this looks like it’s still got it’s integrity other than some black shit colonizing it. Potato blight they harvested all right then a couple of days later would turn black. So you do all the work, think you are finally set, then fucked.
Is choclate :3
Are we using the Quayle spelling now?
Upvote because I’m old enough to remember.
(Riffling through my Rolodex of ancient webcomics.)
Ah, here we are:
Oh my bad! Apparently, i don’t know how to spell potatö
What screws it up is the e appears in the plural, potatoes.
Should serve quail with a potato but call it “Quayle & Potatoe” on the menu. For a vegetarian option, swap the fowl meat for some kale.
Foule meate
Quayle and Potatoe sounds like a phony Irish pub in San Bernardino.
I think this is Black heart
German psychiatrist voice
“It appears to be threatened by self actualization and fixated on its dysfunctional relationship with its Father.”
Don’t forget wanting to shag its mother.
Freudian slip: where you mean one thing but say your mother instead.
Sorry. I meant your mother of course.
What does the potato look like to you?
My Irish half just shuddered.
My favourite great hunger joke:
How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman?
None.
No potatoes doesn’t kill an Irishman, but Queen Victoria endorsing Charles Trevelyan’s laisse-faire policies of “continuing food exports and limiting aid to fellow subjects because depopulating Ireland was God’s will” did.
Well they will never learn anything if you give them handouts after their crop failures, what not with us shipping all their other food they grow elsewhere. /s
It’s amazing the language used, is exactly like the heartless politicians now taking away food stamps and medicaid and the like.
Now tell one about Gaza
My Irish everything instinctively shivered.
Even your timbers?
Especially me timbers…
The actual blight/parasite that caused the potato famine from what I’ve seen looked a lot different, it was more like the whole thing would be rotted out and slimey on the inside due to worms chewing around in there.
Although I may be mixing up several different potato famines.
It looks like you may have thought the potato was locked in there with you but actually you might be locked in there with the potato.
There is two things going on there.
First if you look closely you can see holes in the spud. This is insect damage, likely caused by a wireworm (larval form of a clickbeetle species.)
Second is a physiological damage in storage/shipping causing the black color. This is not blight or another fungus, but the tubers reaction to suboptimal storage condition (not enough O2).
I misread that as “psychological damage”. Poor potato.
Oh that makes sense. I wanted to bake them in the oven but most of them had this kind of pattern. They weren’t smelly or anything and had a normal consistency.
the post below in my feed seems to be relevant to this post somehow
I think I see my parent’s divorce in that potato.
That’s how you got Irish Americans
Is this blight? I know the famine the harvest looked good until a day or so after they are harvested they would turn black, and then rotten. Potatoes really get rotten fast too if they are frozen and thawed or something. But I thought the blight was more the entire potato going bad.
It’s starches are being broken down and used in glycolysis before you had a chance to. The bastards stole it from you. Burn them.
First, I don’t know. Second, I see a well postured cartoon poodle in a sit position, side profile. Mirrored in the other potato too.
First of all there’s no e in potato (singular). Second, it’s probably either a weird mutant or going bad. I wouldn’t eat it, either way.
I thought it was a blueberry muffin :(
Dunno, don’t eat it
