B

Five hundred years ago, potatoes grew in South America. They were an important food for the people who lived in these high mountains. In other parts of the world, however, people didn't know about potatoes.

The Spanish came to South America in the 1500s. They learned of potatoes and took some back to Spain. By 1570, people grew white potatoes in parts of Spain. By 1580, people in Italy were also growing potatoes.

From Spain, potatoes travelled to France. In France, however, people were afraid to eat this new vegetable. They thought it was bad for health. Then the King of France tried to make his people eat potatoes. But for many years, the French still refused to eat potatoes.

Potatoes reached England in a different way. In 1586, the English explorer(探险家) Drake stopped in Colombia. There he probably picked up some potatoes and took them back to England. At first, the English refused to eat potatoes, too. They used potatoes to feed their pigs and chickens.

From England, the potato travelled to Ireland. The potato grew well in the poor soil of Ireland and soon it was an important food for the people in Ireland.

In the early 1700s, Irish people brought potatoes to North America. By 1750, many people in New England were growing and eating potatoes.
