To avoid slipping potatoes and cut fingers, begin by holding
the
potato firmly between your thumb on one side of the potato
and your index finger with the
middle finger adjacent to the index finger, on the other side
of the potato.
Now start peeling in two short-stroke circles outwards,
the
first circle from your
thumb outwards, and then another circle from your two
other fingers and outwards.
Once this has been
done, continue peeling in the regular manner with long
strokes until all the potato is peeled except for the location
of your fingers.
Two short strokes on each of the places where your fingers
have been are enough to finish a fast peeled potato, with
the NMat FoPP method.
Barthelona woolly pigth.

Maxwell says, “ Just have the servants peel them!” |

I believe chefs cutting anything very quickly simply use their own thumb nail as a barrier. The amazing thing is that not many of them use a kind of titanium thumb sleeve. |

My wife and I used to take in foreign exchange students. One year we had a boy from Japan and another from Barcelona, (pronounced Barthelona by the residents believe it or not, something to do with a past ruler having a speech impediment so everyone was made to pronounce it the way he did), aaanyway, we made appetizers for supper one night and one of the dishes was fully loaded potato skins.
He wouldn't touch them. "Oh, we do not eat this." he says, and I'm like,
"Are you sure you don't want to even try one, they're pretty good."
"No, we do not eat this." |

...and they have woolly pigs there. No, no it's true. [link] |

“Just have the servants peel them!” |

My servant is unappealing. (hint: it's me) |

Cool [link] [a1]. From what I can tell that entire paper is based on one language students' conjecture.
Why would I believe that over the words of a native speaker who's family has the exclusive rights to those woolly pigs? |

Barcelona butts up against Basque country. I don't know the origins of Catalan, but some people do claim that Basque is the oldest language in Europe, old enough that it's not even Indo-European. People in that area can do anything with their tongues that they want to. |
|
| |
The other odd claim is that DNA studies show that the Irish are most closely related to the Basque. |
|
| |
//Basque is the oldest language in Europe// |
|
| |
This is correct. Ligurian went extinct in, I think, the C18th. |
|
| |
But Catalan is not Basque and, without googling it, I think it's more
likely that the legend of the Spanish lisp really originates in the
collision between Latin and Arabic. |
