I was expecting mole rats
Western European tourists on Antalya Beach, summer 2024, colorized.
“I hunger…”
Came looking for this.

I mean, potatoes are pretty picky about their storage too.
Root cellars were amazing things. My grandparents would grow potatoes and store them for a year until next harvest.
Root.

Root gives me milk
I’ve got a heat-pump water heater that keeps my utility room at root cellar temperatures which is pretty nice

Btw if you haven’t seen this guy before, he’s a Ukrainian youtuber called super sus and he does some interesting urban exploration. Not as much old soviet stuff these days for some reason but still going.

I mean, you say that, but I once had some carrots which had turned black on the outside and when I peeled them, they still looked and tasted like fresh carrots.
I live in Norway and would make the case that everything we grow outside is like this. Potatoes, beets, carrots, cauliflower and onions are the most popular crops.
