I mean, potatoes are pretty picky about their storage too.

Root cellars were amazing things. My grandparents would grow potatoes and store them for a year until next harvest.

Boil 'em, mash 'em, use 'em to play doom

Btw if you haven't seen this guy before, he's a Ukrainian youtuber called super sus and he does some interesting urban exploration. Not as much old soviet stuff these days for some reason but still going.

"What a great day of 1841 in Ireland."

Phytophthora infestans:

My potatoes are kept in the bag they were bought in. Last a lot longer there than all the other storage solutions I've tried like wooden bins, metal bins and refrigerator.

I mean, you say that, but I once had some carrots which had turned black on the outside and when I peeled them, they still looked and tasted like fresh carrots.

super sus!

a good spud, 'e is.

I live in Norway and would make the case that everything we grow outside is like this. Potatoes, beets, carrots, cauliflower and onions are the most popular crops.
