LadyJean | BS: Irish Potato Blight- Cause found (658* d) | RE: BS: Irish Potato Blight- Cause found | 25 May 13 |
My dad spent some time in a German POW camp. The Germans gave the British and American officers corn meal, ground Indian corn, among their provisions. Before the Americans came, the British had used the cornmeal, which is very absorbent, to clean the floor. Americans taught them that the stuff was food. I can imagine what the Irish thought of it. |
