In fact, potatoes are also equivalent to a kind of food in Germany, but they regard potatoes as the staple food, so there is a saying in Germany that potatoes are not vegetables. Do you take staple foods such as rice and steamed bread as dishes?

What you can't imagine is that Germans who love potatoes so much today actually boycotted this South American species when they first introduced potatoes in the17th century. But soon the delicious potatoes made them sigh: "It's delicious!"

Since then, potatoes have gradually consolidated their position in the minds of Germans. As long as you go to Germany, no matter what party you attend, there will be potato salad. Not only that, Germans will also make potatoes into dozens of dishes, such as mashed potatoes, potato cakes, French fries, baked potatoes and burnt cream potatoes. It is really "the country of potatoes".

Germans can't live without this exotic species now. No country in the world, even China and South America, where they originated, can match the German people's enthusiasm for potatoes. According to statistics, Germans consume about 67 kilograms of potatoes per capita every year, 1.3 kilograms per week.

Germans are particularly keen on fried potatoes, French fries, potato chips and so on. Even though nutritionists have repeatedly stressed that fried food is not good for health, Germans can't resist the temptation of fried potatoes. Germans who love potatoes so much are often ridiculed by their neighbors as potato countries, but they sometimes laugh at themselves generously.

In fact, people in China especially like to eat potatoes, but there are so many delicious foods in China that it is difficult to sum up the foodies in China with the same food.
