Rojava—an overwhelmingly Kurdish region in northeastern Syria—has become synonymous with a multi-ethnic project and a women’s revolution that promotes radical democracy, ecology, and gender equality. This region is currently threatened by a murderous offensive by the new Syrian government, backed by the United States, the European Union, and Turkey.
To support the people of Rojava, we are selling potatoes to raise funds. The funds will go to the Kurdish Red Crescent (https://heyvasor.com/en/donation/) and will be used to provide medical supplies.
**Practical information:**
* Each bag contains 2 kg of potatoes and costs €5.
* The bags can be picked up starting from 14 february.
* You will be contacted later with more details about the exact pickup location and time slots.
Inform yourself and commit to defending Rojava through the “RiseUp4Rojava” campaign:

Thank you so much for the notable mention of Vada pav, Batata Vada and Vada Usal in the newsletter! It felt very nice to see dishes from my home city get an honorable mention in your newsletter!
Fun fact - Potatoes were introduced to Indian cuisine by the Portuguese, even the word Pav or Pao is derived from Portuguese for the bread.

Michigan potatoes can now be shipped to South Korea after nearly 20-year effort. Which is good, I guess, but they're probably stale by now

Like potatoes? Berlin is giving away 4 million kilos
About 4 million kg of potatoes, neatly sorted, and yet threatened with destruction.
A farm in Saxony, Germany, ended up stuck with a harvest of potatoes that had been ordered by a trader. Due to this year's unusually high supply that affected the market price of potatoes, selling them was no longer profitable for the trader.

The soup was good. It very much tasted like a Western stew with a Japanese broth. 3 stars ★★★☆☆
