Seventeenth century Scots treatise on
"Husbandry Anatomical" had recon-
mended the cultivation OF the potato
on large scale, with hints as to its
preparation for the table But II was
long before the potato emerged from,
the sphere OF tentative horticulture. II
continued TO sell by the ounce as a rare
delicacy; and as late as 1740 two sack
fuls Of potatoes sufficed on a ISat set
day for the 5000 inhabitants ~ Pals.

Uist when the chief OF the clan pro
posed TO cultivate a potato crop. and
only under threat of imprisonment were
the inhabitants induced to lend their
aid for the sowing. Years of famine
played their part in reconciIing the
Highland crofters to the consumption
Of this uncanny new-fangled product
