Poutine is a popular dish where I live, in the Canadian province of Quebec. It comes from the Centre-du-Québec area and emerged in the 1950s.  Several restaurants from this area claim to be the inventor of this wonderful dish, like Le Roy Jucep in Drummondville, La petite vache in Princeville and also Le lutin qui rit in Warwick but nobody knows the truth about this serious question.  Poutine is made with French fries and cheese topped with a brown gravy, but there is a lot of regional variations. A lot of people, like me, appreciate this dish. Poutine is a symbol of Quebec's culture. It can be eaten as a main course or as a side dish. Originally, poutine was eaten in casse-croûtes, a "greasy spoon" type dinners in the province of Quebec. It can also be eaten hockey arena, a popular sport in Canada. Because of its popularity, poutine can be found in almost every restaurant. In the northern border regions of the United States, there is also poutine. On...

Germany has a great culture and is a good place to visit. Of course, one of the best things to do in this wonderful country is to eat German potatoes. Germans eat tons of them every year, whether they are baked, sliced or fried. There is a few facts to know about spuds in Germany: Per year, in Germany, a person eats 60-65 kilograms of spuds in average. Potato first arrived in this country only in 1630.

To begin, China is the biggest potato producer in the world. It's generating more than 22 percent of global spud production. Its cultivation takes place in all regions of China, but it is predominantly grown in the northern and southern regions of this country. Following the Great Chinese Famine, spud production had been on the rise during the 1960s and early 1970s.  Since then, they became an integral part of the Chinese diet, especially in rural  parts. They are being used to  make french fries and potato crisps. In China, spuds have helped to reduce poverty and assure food security. The planted area of potatoes have grew because of these benefits for Chinese people. There are also great economic returns of selling potatoes. This vegetable is used to treat abdominal pain, insects bites, burns, wounds, stomach illness and throat and mouth infection in China. This wonderful vegetable can also  improve immunity.

The Different Types of Potatoes Russets, also named Idaho potatoes, are large and oblong. They have a mealy flesh and a rough brown skin. They are the best for baking and frying. Red potatoes can come in the Norland, Red Bliss and Red Pontiac variety. These spuds are small, round and have a thin skin. They work well when boiled, steamed or simmered for soups. The Bintje spud comes from Netherlands, where it is appreciated for making French fries. It crashes easily, so it is well adapted to do mash potatoes. Its flesh is floury. It is the potato used for the famous Belgian fries. The Nicola potato is from Germany, but is also cultivated in Austria, Spain, France and Luxembourg. It has been created only in 1973 by a German breeder. https://food-hacks.wonderhowto.com/how-to/ultimate-potato-cheat-sheet-which-potato-goes-best-with-what-0167059/
