[Goanet] Yes We have no Potatoes
Vivian you claim that you get good batata and they are cheap Who brought the potato to India. Africa Europe The Irish call the Potato *An Spáinneach Geal* *My connection with Potatoes * Way back in 1966 when I gave my first lecture in Human Geography at the University College Dar es Salaam, to Arts and Science students there was an expression of disbelief because I was talking about the composition of the human body ….The content of my fifth or sixth lecture was about pototoes, bananas. I told them that Potatoes were native to the Andes in Peru…and there were aover 200 varieties of the potatoes. Most were only marble sized and hard as stone …they were in different shades from black, blue, red yellow, brown white .I had no idea whether they knew what how big was a marble (In Geology they come in slabs or blocks so I said them that they were the size of a *mfenesi* pip (Jack fruit nuts) OK Vivian so where the Indians and Goans get the potato which you say are plentiful ….We have to thank Christopher Columbus , Albuquerque, Vasco de Gama and a host of other Spanish, French, Portuguese botanist sailors and farmers ….the Irish call the *Potato Spáinneach Geal [*the white, or kind hearted Spaniard …So apart from looting silver from Peru they brought the white gold potatoes … Personally I like potatoes with Goa Sausages ……but the real thing from a nutritional point is YFSP ….(*which you all knowis Yellow fleshed sweet potatoes) * …..the Japanese know about this and import it from Mwanza ….ask GERBER *Having helped you Vivian and other deep down in me I feel that there was an e Irish Potato not like cassava, nor smooth silled like the pototo they are somewhat hairy* Adolfo In DSM

Re: [Goanet] Yes we have no potatoes
Plenty of good quality potatoes at a very reasonable price here in Goa. Forget about trying to smuggle Potato chops from Mumbai. You cannot buy beef inMaharashtra state, so unless the potato chops are made with goat meat (mutton) or some other filling, no potato chops in Mumbai either. Beef is still available in Goa and Karnataka and Kerala states though.
[Goanet] YES WE HAVE NO POTATOES
Dear Roland & John I think the message which you sent and now appears as message one was predictable .there are at least four reasons: a) You neighbours in the south nearly wiped out the resident Indians...but I gather the Canadians were more subtle but no better b) Therefore the Gods periodically bring down the curse consult a Canadian called Larson who for the last 45 or more years has been writing on Canada and Ulanga (where I was born) and on Tanzania in general who c) Consult the Calender of Serious shortages and gluts. But avoid what your neighbours did in the south . they migrated like crazy people and extended the dust bowl *2) At LEAST THREE SOLUTION* i) In NJOMBE a Region in south central Tanzania there are Irish Potatoes aplenty. They are organically grown absolutely sumptuouscurrently sold in sacks of 90-120 kgs .(Govt has made the 120 kgs illegal) ii) To buy NOP (Njombe Organic Potatoes) you have to walk round the cluster of the huge Makumbaku tree four gtimes and swear that you are not related to MAC the Trump iii) NJUMBE REGION also produces the finest IVORY (Brand Name ) Oranic Chocolate;;(NIOC) ;most of the cocoa produced was exported to USA via a Germany ...My research led me to discover that there was something fishy...NOIC is really good when you are stressed and really relax you. \KARIBU or should I say CARIBOU Adolfo Mascarenhas In Dar es Salaam a friend of Jombe
