Potato Quote

Women & children cried out after the Rector as he passed along the street: “Tatoes, Potatoes, Turnips & Potatoes, Potatoe-Guts”. The same words were written on the walls & doors in chalk with caricatured figures of the Rector.

— Notebook of the Rev. Delabere Pritchett, Cheadle (Staffordshire), 1817. (The rector had started collecting tax on potatoes)
