The Potato Museum Show
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 เม.ย. 2010
Seriously? Yes, indeed. The Potato Museum was established in 1975, by teacher Tom Hughes and his students at the International School of Brussels, in Belgium. One of the first “food museums” anywhere in the world, it grew from there, and today comprises the world's largest collection on the history and social influence of the powerful potato.
Its artifacts, artwork and objects have been key to three major exhibitions: “Seeds of Change,” produced by the Smithsonian in the early 90s; at the same time, “The Amazing Potato,” a 6500 square foot project of Ottawa’s Museum of Science and Technology; and back in Washington, DC, in 2010, “Spuds Unearthed!” put on by the US Botanic Garden on the Mall. Next up? A major project with a team in Northern Ireland.

Digging Potatoes: Then and Now
Some of The Potato Museum’s potato digging memorabilia are displayed and discussed in this show. Before large combine harvesters, digging potatoes was accomplished with a variety of horse drawn mechanical devices. Otherwise, lifting and gathering potatoes is by hand with shovels or forks. As shown in pictures and videos harvesting potatoes was an inter-generational activity.
A potato spinner is connected to a tractor through the three-point linkage. Older machines were drawn by horse and were driven by a ground drive. It works by a flat piece of metal which runs horizontal to the ground lifting the potatoes up and a large wheel with spokes on it called a reel pushing the clay and potatoes out to the side. The potatoes are then gathered by hand, placed into containers and transported from the field for further packaging.
The potato spinner is becoming obsolete because modern potato harvesting equipment eliminates manual gathering of potatoes and leaves fewer potatoes in the soil.
Potato harvesters are machines that harvest potatoes. They work by lifting the potatoes from the bed using a share. Soil and crop are transferred onto a series of webs where the loose soil is sieved out. The potatoes are moved towards the back of the harvester on to a separation unit and then (on human-operated machines) to a picking table where people pick out the stones, clods, and haulms (stems or stalks) by hand. The potatoes then go on to a side elevator and into a trailer or a potato box.
A haulm topper is an agricultural machine that cuts potato stems (haulms) before potatoes are harvested. It is like a flail mower but has the profile of the potato drills. Modern potato farmers often mount a haulm topper on the front of the tractor and have a trailed potato harvester towed behind the tractor. Toppers can also be rear-mounted. It is a very efficient machine.

Processing potatoes for storage has a long history; the Incas used climate to produce the first dehydrated potatoes. The process entailed an overnight freezing and thawing cycle plus low humidity. The ice crystals that formed forced openings in the cell tissue allowing for liquid to escape. The Incas employed foot power to expel the liquid. The cycle was repeated several times to lower the mois...

Japanese Potatoes

When potatoes first introduced to the port city of Nagasaki in 1598, they were brought in by Dutch traders from Djajakarta or Jacatra, as Jakarta, Indonesia, was known at the time. Therefore they were called jagatora-imo (imo being the word used for all potato-like vegetables). The term was eventually shortened to the jaga-imo we know today. A second introduction came with US Navy's Commodore M...

Good question. We will look into it.
I wonder if the largest potato garden is still producing the beautiful varieties.
Good question. We'll look into it. We grew 40 varieties in our gardens in Belgium and also Virginia. I planted 12 varieties with children at The Potomac School.
Did they cook em in the coal? Were there toppings available? I could sleep in one of them! Bring back the Baked Potato Line!
Interesting!

Great question. We'll look into it. Thanks for watching The Potato Museum Show.
what variety are we growing ? may try different varieties , each in their own bag to see which grow best using this method?
Good luck. Seems like a plan and let us know. We planted whatever spuds starting spouting before we had time to eat them.
Never heard of the island before your video! Thanks for the quick rundown of its history, very informative 😁
Also, horses that tend to be biters often were surprised with a hot potato to discourage the behavior. I thought it was cruel.
Why the Germans took that statue away, they don’t like potatoes?🤷♂️
The Nazis didn't want a statue honoring an Englishman, the enemy, to stand in one of their cities. The fact that the statue incorrectly identified Sir Francis Drake as the "bringer of the potato" to Europe was incorrect was not known at the time is a testament to the fact that people recognize the importance of the plant to their well being. Potatoes fed sides fighting in both World Wars I and II.
Potato museum increases happiness as well
Appreciate the compliment. We are happy doing these shows and sharing the lesser known but wonderful world of the potato.
