Misconception;

At one time it was maintained that the true potato somehow got from South America to Virginia(Southern States) and was taken from there to Europe by Sir W. Raleigh.

However ,it actually did not reach Virginia until a century after Raleigh.Also ,Sir John Hawkins was supposed to have brought the potato to Europe in 1556,but that turns out to be the sweet potato.

The Germans in Offenbach were so grateful to Sir Francis Drake for brining back the the potato from his round -the-world voyage that they erected a statue to him as the "Introducer of the Potato into Europe ."

However there is not the slightest evidence that potatoes were aboard his vessel,the Pelican. :hmm:
