Reminds me of Geography 101 in college. The professor asked what kind of potatoes come from South America.

Someone answered. "Baked Potatoes!"

[Saddle Bronc 124]

Yes, the ORIGINAL came from South America--and it's also true that the original wheat came from the Indus Valley (as in during Harappan times).

I'm sure varieties (of potatoes) were developed by pollination experiments outside (such as in Ireland and Russia--which are the heaviest per-capita consumers, as well as possibly India the largest total producer/consumer), just as varieties of wheat have been developed OUTSIDE the subcontinent since 1500 BC (when the Harappan civilisation collapsed).

What happened to India's efforts to patent basmati rice?

No, India did. It's been transplanted since in many parts of the world.

I was educated pretty quickly on Peru and the potatoe. They actually have like 1,200 different varieties and they are delicious!

Mmmmm.....potatoes.....

Impossible, as Thailand DOES NOT even HAVE the right terrain/climate combination for growing it.

Basmati was first created in the Uttarkhand-Himachal Pradesh area.
