    HA! I opened it! My fingers hurt now so you need to come home and kiss them for me.

    Just plain ole spuds.

    ...."You can have them mashed, fried, steamed, baked, ..." (as  Bubba Gump  would say)

    there is no solid evidence to suggest that the pirate Walter Raleigh introduced the potato to Ireland. The notion seems to have taken hold in popular myth however. Another theory, also without substantial facts to back it up, is that they washed up with the wreckage of the Spanish Armada in 1588.
