Thank you so much for the notable mention of Vada pav, Batata Vada and Vada Usal in the newsletter! It felt very nice to see dishes from my home city get an honorable mention in your newsletter!

Fun fact - Potatoes were introduced to Indian cuisine by the Portuguese, even the word Pav or Pao is derived from Portuguese for the bread.

Potato variety review: Currently eating my way through the 2025 potato harvest. I grew ‘Blackberry’ potatoes for the first time. Great yield of roundish, medium-sized tubers. These are the purplest potatoes I’ve ever used in the kitchen. Loaded with anthocyanins. Only OK roasted, since they are somewhat waxy. Quite nice boiled (tonight I seasoned with a harissa dressing). They have a strong potato flavor, especially when roasted. Recommend! #potatoes #cooking #gardening #PlantVariety

@TheBreadmonkey Yes!Now following #Potatoes

"When #Ashkenazi #Jewish people emigrated to the #US in the early 20th century, #latkes came along for the ride. They’re as popular as ever in Jewish- #American #Hanukkah #cooking, though they’re now made vegetable #oil instead of #shmaltz. They’re so popular in fact that they’ve gone commercial, with some grocery stores carrying dry latke mixes or ready-made frozen latkes. It's a workout to shred #potatoes and make them by hand, so, it’s not surprising that there’s now a market for a quick alternative.

But which brand tastes like homemade? We asked a panel of Jewish professional #chefs to find out what the best store-bought latke is—plus, the best way to reheat them and ideas for serving this traditional Hanukkah treat."

Wait, potatoes so creamy and rich that they don't need any butter when cooking? What new devilry is this?

"The #Jewish population is now nonexistent, but for thousands of years the #Jews of #Libya lived under the rule of the #Greeks, #Romans, #OttomanEmpire, #Italian, #British and #Arabs. In 1911, they made up roughly 4% of the #Libyan population. In 1938, “race protection laws” banned Jews from sending their children to school, working in skilled professions or intermarrying. Later the community was divided and sent to concentration camps across #Europe and #NorthAfrica.

In the years following World War II, the remaining Libyan Jews were forced to emigrate, leaving just 100 in 1969 and none at all by 2004. Many went to #Israel and many to #Rome, adding to the spread and diversity of Libyan and North African Jewish #cooking. Today we enjoy such dishes as #mafrum (stuffed #potatoes), #couscous and #chraime (a spicy #fish #stew). Learning about these #foods helps us to understand our people."

Turns out tomato sex is the reason we have one of life’s greatest foods: the modern potato. They’re hybrids of tomatoes and a non-tuberous potato ancestor called Solanum Etuberosum.

Thank you, horny little tomatoes.
