Potato Toys (1931) (puppiesandflowers.com)

I didn't know Twitter was around in 1931 (⊙_⊙)？

Is it just me or do the potatoes look unusually hairy?

I’m not Russian but we used to make similar characters and animals out of chestnuts.

No potato battery? I am disappoint.

Any source beyond the tweet?

If this was posted as a joke about the supply chain problems, it's not as funny as you think it is. I assure you, it's much, much funnier.

Reminded the old movie from the same period about a Revolution hero, him using potatoes to teach tactics https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rS64aAQEgME

"Son, bring your toys for dinner!"

They are beautiful.

The first image appears to be some kitchen gear. But I'm unfamiliar with it. Is it a toy home distillery?

as a permanent potato lover, i have to ask:what kind of recipes do "potato based diet" do communities around the world have? i live in a place where rice is the major food source and that is the base of all lunch and dinner. everything else is had "with rice". i wonder how potato is consumed on a daily basis (i would love to) except the fast food stuff. errgh
