Many people seem to love potatoes however they are cooked. But have you ever asked yourself where they came from?
It all started in Peru. There, people grew potatoes over 2,000 years ago. They weren’t like the ones we know today. 36 The first Europeans to try to plant potatoes were the Spanish. In 1537, Spanish explorers discovered people eating what they called papas. They brought this strange vegetable back to Spain in the 1550s.
People generally didn’t like the potato. Lots of other vegetables were introduced into Europe at the same time, like tomatoes and sweet potatoes, and people preferred those to the unattractive potatoes. 37 Very slowly, they spread through Europe. There is a story that King Louis XVI of France liked the potato and planted them in his royal garden. 38
So, what about chips? Well, the Belgians claim that they invented fried potatoes, although nobody really knows for sure. The first mention of “chips” in England is by the writer Charles Dickens in 1859. 39
The Americans call them “French fries” because soldiers from America went to France during the First World War and loved the dish. Now, the Americans eat over twenty million tons of chips a year.
Crisps are an American invention, although they call them “chips”. Everybody agrees that a native American chef, George Crum, made the first crisps in 1853. One day, a difficult customer wanted fried potatoes, sliced thinly. When they arrived, he said they weren’t thin enough. 40 In the end, Crum got annoyed and sliced the potatoes as thinly as he could and fried them, and then added lots of salt. The dish was an immediate success.
Next time you are in your favourite fast food place eating chips with your friends, amaze them with your potato knowledge!
A. He kept sending them back to be cooked again.
B. The original potatoes were smaller and tasted bitter.
C. They were found to be a good source of vitamins, surprisingly. D. He mentioned “chips of potato” fried in oil in one of his books. E. He asked the fried potatoes to be mixed with butter and cheese. F. Ordinary people stole them and planted them in their own gardens. G. They were given to slaves and prisoners, because they were so cheap. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
