The potato has been a staple of South American cuisine since the time of the Incan Empire, but the story of its migration around the world is one of not just displacement, but conquest, exploitation, famine, intrigue, defamation, delicious dishes, and semantic confusion! At this event you can follow the path of the potato through history and learn about its impact on global cuisine, language, and culture. Plus, get a taste of different potato dishes!
