Wow, just got on and saw this.


Wish I knew as many languages as you Grisli... I'm an English and French speaker that dabbles in another 5 languages, enough to live and learn but not great.


Good to see you here!

Yes! You are a potato! Here in Austria there's a different word for potato.
ICH BIN EIN ERDAPFEL! It's funnier than Kartoffel, because Erdapfel is literally earth-apple.

Hmm, looks like the dutch word "aardAppel",also  literally earth-apple.
And in russian картошка

"Earth-Apple?"


Forgive me and my silliness, but my mythological senses are tingling. I'm pretty sure that I've heard legends about an "apple of the earth"?


Apples are pretty large in mythology, Eris' Golden Apple of Discord being one good example, but is there a World Apple? I think there is, but I can't think of it right now...

Okay, did my research. There isn't...


The world was referred to as an apple as analogy.

Well, yeah. Most cultures view the potato as the "apple of the earth." Heh, in French, that's even the name for it (<<Pomme de Terre>> / Apple of the Earth).


Sorry to derail everything.

That's very interesting. Seems like all the central European languages use that term then, the exception being Kartoffel in Germany's German. It also now makes soooooooooo much more sense why we (in Austria) say French Fries as Pommes Frites (literally fried apples in French), because they use the earth-apple thing as well.

Short Story -- Alone

My Art   /   My DeviantArt


"Those who have packed far up into grizzly country know that the presence of even one grizzly on the land elevates the mountains, deepens the canyons, chills the winds, brightens the stars, darkens the forest, and quickens the pulse of all who enter it. They know that when a bear dies, something sacred in every living thing interconnected with that realm... also dies."
