Teach Me Sweden is a Swedish History podcast by comedians Jonathan Rollins (US) and Erik Broström (SE). Each week one of them reads a true story from Swedish History to the other one who likely knows nothing about it.
In this episode, Jon teaches Erik about the history of potatoes in Sweden. You'll learn about the original use of this Peruvian night treasure when they came to Uppsala and how the government pushed to get Swedes to trust this root vegetable enough to eat it. Will the Swedes start eating it before it's too late? What will it take for the Swedes to really start to appreciate the potato? Listen in and laugh while you learn.
