Why Duck and Potato; Potato’s Story

Duck and Potato. Cute, right?

We’re going to France together for our first big adventure as a couple, so blogging about it seemed appropriate. We are children of the internet, after all. We can’t have an experience and not record it!!

Our first trip is to France, so a blog called Duck and Potato seemed appropriate, because duck and potatoes is 70% of the French diet (how are they not fatties? Just one of the many fascinating mysteries to be uncovered here at Duck and Potato).

Additionally, the name corresponds very well to the two people behind the blog. Though Potato has some serious reservations about it.

*The following conversation has been embellished for humor.

C: Duck and Potato is an adorable blog title, but I’m not being Potato.
N: Why not??
C: POTATO??? That’s horrible!  Who wants to be Potato? Potatoes are like rocks that happen to be semi-edible. And not even pretty rocks.
N: Fine, you can be Duck, I’ll be Potato. Do you have to argue about EVERYTHING?
C: Thank you. And yes.

<some time later>

C: I am Irish and Polish so I guess I should be Potato. Potatoes aren’t so bad, they make an excellent vehicle for BBQ sauce.
N: And ducks are my favorite animal, this fact has been established.
C: That’s true. You love ducks.
N: So you’re Potato and I’m Duck.
C: Arg.

So here we are. Expect jokes, a lot of photos (Duck bought me an amazing camera for my birthday, look for lots of pictures of castles and cheese), and a lot of writing about things we eat and cook.
Duck and Potato, a blog about food and travel.

But mostly jokes. :)
