Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?

  I have never. Do they taste like apples?

    No not at all but a good one has a nice crunch to it, kinda like a water chestnut, and they can make a nice snap sound like an apple

      Oh. I’ve bitten into a potato before, just not one freshly and cruelly ripped from the warm breast of mother nature. I think they’re more similar to Asian Pears, of we’re making such comparisons, also not neatly as juicy.
