When my partner's sister was in college, she had a roommate who was a princess in some minor European nobility. The princess part doesn't really matter -- she was very nice -- except for the implied life of privilege.
One day, the princess was going to the grocery store and asked if anyone needed anything. "Potatoes please!".
When the princess returned, she said "I'm very sorry, but the potatoes were all dirty".
I think of her every year while harvesting ...

@colo_lee@mstdn.social When we were selling potatoes at the farmer's market one year, this woman said loudly to her friend in an absolutely disgusted tone "These potatoes look like they just came out of the GROUND" And I think about that every time I harvest our potatoes! (Potato harvest a ways off here in Saskatchewan still.)
