Much has been said about the value of Incan gold, but one of the great legacies of the Incas was food plants. The potato, the pumpkin, and the pineapple came from South America and spread through the world. Coca, the source of cocaine, and cinchona, the source of quinine, are also gifts of Peruvian civilization to mankind.

Ah, ok! Buti na lang nabasa ko 'to. I thought, potato was European origin. Mali na naman ako. Knowledge is power talaga, i-share mo nga ang santambak mong knowledge sa amin!
Have you ever tried baked potato with mayonnaise toppings!
@ Monts,
Akala ko rin before, ang potato originated from Ireland.
@ Ram,
Yes, many times, but without the mayonnaise toppings. I shy away from too much cholesterol!
