EVER WONDERED ABOUT POTATOES

To make a potato find its way through a maze, put some partitions in a shoe
box, with a 2 cm hole in each partition (making sure they don’t line up), and
then a 2 cm hole in the far end of the box. Put a sprouting potato in one end
and place the lid on the box. The sprout will grow towards the light at the end
of the shoe box, weaving its way through the holes to the far end!

„ It is thought that mayonnaise was developed in France in the 18th century


by a French chef in the town of Mahon. Its early name was Mahonnaise.

„ The science behind the making of mayonnaise is quite interesting. The first
step in making mayonnaise involves mixing egg yolks with a little vinegar
and seasoning, then adding oil slowly, beating all the time. The idea is that
the egg yolk coats the tiny droplets of oil and prevents them coming
together to form a separate layer. This is called an emulsion. An emulsion
has formed once the mixture becomes thick. The oil can then be added
slightly more quickly.

„ The potato, which originated in Peru, reached North America after a


circuitous journey. The Spaniards first took it back to Spain in the 16th
century. From there it made its way to Italy and northern Europe, then to
Bermuda and on to the Virginia colonies of North America.

„ During the Alaskan Klondike gold rush, (1897-1898) potatoes were


practically worth their weight in gold. Potatoes were so valued for their
vitamin C content that miners traded gold for potatoes.
