Useful information. Thanks.

Where did they come from?

The article is clear that potatoes are part of the Columbian Exchange, and were introduced, possibly by Cook. Does that mean these varieties were cultivated in England at the time Cook left? Are they still cultivated there (or wherever Cook got them) as hierloom varieties? 219.88.232.196 (talk) 03:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a thesis here which may be useful for anybody with as much interest but more time than I. https://mro.massey.ac.nz/items/675b94dd-e7c8-4892-857c-bf86c496c6a0 219.88.232.196 (talk) 03:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
