你能想象没有薯条的日子吗？马铃薯是目前最受欢迎的食品，但在以前却不是这样。马铃薯在5千年前生长在南美洲，但它只有在两百年前才开始在各地受到欢迎。

16世纪，西班牙人把马铃薯从南美洲带到欧洲。当时欧洲人并不喜欢这个奇特的蔬菜。有些人认为如果你吃了马铃薯，你的皮肤也会长得跟象马铃薯一样。其他人则不敢相信这蔬菜的根部是可当成食品，所以他们吃马铃薯的叶子。这反而让他们生病，因为叶子有毒。

19世纪，人们开始吃马铃薯。在爱尔兰，马铃薯成了主食。在1845年，全爱尔兰的马铃薯受到了蚊虫的侵害，有两百万人因此饿死。

今天，各个国家都有各自的马铃薯佳肴。德国人爱吃马铃薯沙律，美国人吃烤马铃薯，法国人发明了薯条。现在薯条受到全世界的欢迎。英国人沾盐和醋吃，法国人沾盐和胡椒粉，美国人则沾番茄酱吃。
