Gentlemen Prefer Potatoes

"When you collect recipes for vegetable dishes with men guests in mind, start with potatoes. Of all the garden treats, nothing interests the masculine world so much as the humble spud. Since this cookbook features choice foods for country entertaining, we start the vegetable section with potatoes. It's no secret that most women, and this includes hostesses, do a lot of cooking to please men."

- From a cookbook published by 'Farm Journal' in 1968. My cheesy potatoes turned out ok, but I forgot to ask the men what they thought. I guess wasn't trying to please them.
