please the french
They even dont recognise the potato as a seperate entity. They really just call them pomme de terre (ground apple) and job's a goodun.
Ah but they're not potatoes there.... They're ground apples (that's the translation in case you've no French). Doesn't count. Big pharma got in on the naming after a campaign by doctors who didn't like them.
Yeah but that's like asking a potato to colonize the moon. The space moon.
