Same here Ragz, haven't a clue what they teach the kids at school here now, but I would reckon it's along the same lines.

Tbf, I recall, when growing up in Belfast in the 70s and 80s, we near enough had potatoes everyday. Was cheap and cheerful. Maybe in the summer we had the odd salad. Back then the only takeaway places were chippies, so if we ever had one it was still potatoes. We did have the odd Chinese takeaway, but they weren't particularly popular.

@jamestuck6764 I know what you are saying, but I was just pointing out, that for myself growing up here in Northern Ireland, every evening meal generally involved potatoes in some variety. Be that, boiled, roasted, chipped, mashed or a real favourite was champ. Mashed potatoes with scallions as we call them, spring onions. Was just to vary how they were presented. Northern Ireland, like the Republic, is mostly farmland, so I suppose most farmers grew potatoes back then. They were cheap and generally grown locally, keeping the costs low. Times are a bit different now, as , only speaking for myself, maybe only have potatoes once or twice a week.

@barrydwyer2039 I forgot to add, if back in the day, everyone I knew, if they had a Chinese, it was whatever dish they got included chips. Was normally chips and curry or chips and gravy. A real treat back then 😂😂😂😂😂.
