Хтобвидумали? Попи!

[skittishfox]

4. There is yet a third sort of bread made at the [West] Indies, which they call Chugno, and is made likewise of a certain small root called Popa. This bread is used chiefly upon the Andes, and some parts of the Sierra or Hill-Countrie, and generally in all the colder parts and Provinces of America, where the root groweth plentifully, and where, by reason of the cold, there is not so great plenty of Wheat or Maiz, nor yet perhaps of Cassavi or Jucca, which, how dry soever it be, when they have reduc'd it to bread, yet naturally is of a gross and juycie substance, luscious, or at least, not unpleasing to the taste, and requireth a warm and lusty soile. These Popas are a kinde of smaller root, not unlike to the Bulbocastanum, or ground-Chesnut, with many leaves growing out upon them: which they onely dry weill in the Sun, and then grinde them; making a kinde of bread of them, which will keep long, and is probably of a good and strong nourishment'; for it is much used at the Mines of Potozi, where the labour is hard. They eate these roots also dressed otherwise, both boyled and baked, and account them a very good meat.
