Potatoes are definitely apples. The French call them "pommes de terre", apples of the earth. Ipso facto.

I will not be accepting questions at this time.

The german term for horse shit is "horse apples", Pferdeäpfel. Proof that horses are really potatoes.

In the US south,, we also call horse shit 'horse apples.' That's pretty cool, that the translation persisted.

I thought I just didn't like eating horses.
