From the depths of country music:
          There once was a country (hillbilly) song entitled Take an Old Cold Tater and Wait. It was a horribly poor song, but it hit the Nashville charts. The jist of it was, when kinfolk and friends come to dinner the kids are given a chunk of raw potato to chew on while the adults ate. If you were city bred or were born after 1945 you probably think this is preposterous. Nope! It was pretty much the norm down on the farm. We kids would drool and stomachs would growl with the smell of fried chicken, biscuits, and the rest wafting through house while we gnawed on those raw spuds. There seemed to be one particular uncle who would go back for helping after helping as we agonized. If memory serves me right, I left my first loose tooth in one of those tubers.
