Here we go with the last one, a potato story for the bothering.
In 1589, Queen Elizabeth ordered a banquet featuring a food source from the new world: Potatoes.
The royal cooks, having never prepared potatoes before, threw away the veggie away and cooked the green part or eye instead, sickening the whole royal court.
Elizabeth banned the vegetable for 100 years!
The ban was eventualy lifted a few years later when potatoes gained popularity in Spain, France and Italy.

Dear Steamgifts Members,
today United States of America celebrate Independence Day. Our group of historians created a train full of informations about this event - and we are proud to share it with you on this special day. But July is not only about Independence of USA, and that is why our train ends on July 14th - The Bastille Day, the French National Day - a turning point of the French Revolution. So our train contains also stories related to la Fête nationale.
The stories were assembled on the train in the following order: at the beginning all about United States Celebration of Independence Day, in the end all about French Celebration of Bastille Day, in the middle all relative to other topics with similar values, such as freedom, peace, equality and independence.
At the end of the train there is a little suprise for you - the Quiz. So if you've read everything we wrote carefully enough, you may try it. Maybe you'll be lucky in giveaways we've prepared.
We've also created some Jigidis related to events we celebrate. You'll find them in the middle of the train, they will give you an opportunity to win even more games.
HERE you can start your journey with us:
We'd love to hear some feedback from you, and discussions are allowed. Please, feel free to comment, let us know what you think, how you celebrate (if you do). And don't forget to bump the thread.
I'd like to thank all of my Write History Group Members who contributed, especially db (David) - he took the whole responsibility of organisation (which is not easy). The idea of creating the train was also his, so he as an Inventor and Creator is our Hero today. Obrigado, David.
