Mashed potato

us butchered chickens, and two cut vegetables into shapes that were necessary for our dishes, all of which was executed perfectly.

The potato helped create this jump but caused people to be more dependent on the potato. Beginning in 1845, a potato fungus that began in Belgium, spread across Europe and had devastating effects in Ireland. The poorest farmers were the first to feel the effects. In hard-hit areas people were dying of starvation. Many tried to eat grass to ward off hunger. When potato crops failed farmers could no longer pay their rent. Scores of poor
