Mar 27, 2021 at 0:04 comment added Joe @JRE : I've seen plenty of Idaho license plates over the years. Does she live near a military base? (I used to pass one on my way to work, so that was likely the source of them)
Mar 26, 2021 at 14:40 comment added Clockwork @JRE What if the poster is a potato humanoid disguised as a human?
Mar 26, 2021 at 11:24 comment added JRE @Brōtsyorfuzthrāx: I'll have to tell my sister about you. She swears there's nobody in Idaho. Just potato fields. She bases this belief on the fact that she never sees cars with Idaho license plates on the highways. She's seen cars from every state (even Alaska) on the highways where she lives - but none from Idaho.
Mar 25, 2021 at 20:15 comment added Brōtsyorfuzthrāx @Clockwork Yes, southwest Idaho. It's actually not the most potato-centric part of Idaho (you probably have to travel a couple hours east to get there), but there was (if not is) a potato experimental station nearby (actually in Eastern Oregon, though). SW Idaho grows/raises more corn, sugar beets, onions, mint, flower seeds, lettuce seeds, wheat, oats, sometimes peppers, goats and such (and there's a lot of beef ranching; Idaho's more known for its dairies than its beef, too, but I know ~one dairy farm and there are so many fields of beef cattle that I never thought to begin counting them)
Mar 25, 2021 at 14:17 comment added J... @Clockwork It means in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by potatoes.
Mar 25, 2021 at 14:04 comment added Spagirl 'produce vendors don't typically tell you the actual breed of the potatoes you're getting, you have to rely on their opinion of the best use for each. You can't just look up its breed name to find out what is known about it .' In the UK potatoes are almost universally labelled with their variety, and if bagged there is likely a description of if they are floury, waxy etc. I think people also have a good amount of general knowledge what to expect from their maris Pipers, King Edwards, Roosters, Charlottes, Jersey Royals etc.

Mar 25, 2021 at 11:46 comment added Clockwork This might sound stupid but... what does "SW Idaho" mean?
