摘要

Propitious Esculent is not just a book about potatoes; it is also about poverty. The two are linked by history, and in this very readable account, anthropologist and journalist John Reader shows us how. The cultivated potato, Solatium tuberosum, is one of around 1,500 species in the flowering plant genus Solarium, which also includes the tomato, aubergine and woody nightshade. There are some 190 species of wild potatoes, all found in the Andes - from these a single species has been domesticated and spread throughout the world. Those who only see potatoes in heaps at supermarkets may be surprised that the crop comes from a flowering plant and is one of South Americas greatest contributions to the European diet. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has declared 2008 the International Year of the Potato to raise awareness of its importance. Botanically, the potato is a tuber, a swollen piece of underground stem where the plant stores starch. Wild potato plants and local 'primitive' varieties have tubers, but they are often small and oddly shaped, bearing little physical resemblance to those from cultivated varieties. Reader cites recent research on the taxonomy and domestication of these varied and complicated plants. Disappointingly, he does not incorporate recent work on the genetics of the potato and its relatives.
