When I was a little girl, whenever my mother peeled potatoes, she and I always ate a little bit of raw potato with a little salt and we never got sick. (I also used to lick the beaters when she made cake batter and never got sick then, either. But I don't do that now, both because I no longer eat cake, but also because of the salmonella concerns about raw eggs.) Eating raw potato is very similar in taste to eating the broccoli or cauliflower stem (you have to pare away the woddy, fibrous outside to get to the "heart" of the stem).
Anyway, hearing about raw potatoes made me think of my late mother and how I miss her. Sorry to carry on so...
