Why, I wonder, does the rather omnivorous Chinese cuisine typically

have plenty of places where Murphies would do well.

How funny. I've never notice the lack of potatoe recipes in chinese
restaurants or take away, beside the chinese potato shoestring salade.
However China is the world biggest potatoe grower and exporter!
