I just saw the Potato book mentioned last night in Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan :) I had no idea that "potato vs. wheat" was a "class" issue in Europe, with potatoes coming from the Americas, but it makes a lot of sense. In general Pollan references a lot of great work in all of his books. If anyone wants to find some stuff to read his books are a good first stop.
