Huh? It totally makes no sense that a potato would be considered a grain. I was thinking along the lines of a chickpea. But not something grown in the ground.

I had sense enough to quit! Now, just under 80 years later, I think that my heart, lungs, gut, kidneys and other parts are showing the results/fruits of their gratefulness. ole joyfuelled

I believe John Adams was the first president to say he wasn't going to eat anymore broccoli.

Prove me wrong :-p

Follow up to yesterday’s question. One theory for the name.

The English portion of the dual name has unclear origins and is often the source of confusion, given that the beach is only 55 miles (89 km) long – not ninety. A common story for the name holds that early Europeans took three days to traverse the beach, with their horses typically able to cover thirty miles per day. According to the legend, the Europeans took this to mean that the beach was 90 miles long, failing to account for their slower speed due to the sand.

Interesting🙂
