A university in southwestern China has started offering different kinds of dishes made of potatoes. These potatoes were bought from a poverty-stricken county in Sichuan Province to increase the income(收入) of local farmers.
Students at three campuses of Sichuan University in Chengdu City have been buying the dishes at special windows in school canteens since Sept. 13. The potatoes are cooked in many ways, with added flavors ranging from spicy to sour and cumin(孜然).
The potatoes are all from Ganluo County, a place that the university has connected to in its one-to-one assistance program to help reduce poverty. The university ordered 10 tons of potatoes from Ganluo farmers in the first batch and half were consumed in two days.
The university’s Wangjiang campus also put uncooked potatoes on sale at 10 yuan for a bag of 2.5 kilograms. One teacher bought five bags in a single purchase.
Students generally welcome the potato banquet, with boiled whole potatoes the most popular.
