"For the record... In the Ardennes, the potato is the basis of the diet: in salad, mash, stir-fry... it is found in many typical dishes. In 1586, the Pope's legate brought some tubers in Belgium then crossed the border to reach the Ardennes. In this region, you don't procrastinate when it's good and it feeds your man.
