    Potatoes are definitely apples. The French call them “pommes de terre”, apples of the earth. Ipso facto.

    I will not be accepting questions at this time.

      The german term for horse shit is “horse apples”, Pferdeäpfel. Proof that horses are really potatoes.

        As a Czech I find that utterly absurd.

        We call it “doughnuts”.

        That doesn’t make sense. That makes horses apple trees not apples.

        In the US south, we also call horse shit ‘horse apples.’ That’s pretty cool, that the translation persisted.

          TIL why the ‘horse apple pie’ I ate in grade school tasted like shit.

          I thought I just didn’t like eating horses.

      My brain autocorrected their mix-up of potatoes and tomatoes until I read your comment.
