My favorite facts about Halifax is that the first French people to get there starved to death the first year because they wouldn't eat that weird vegetable the natives from the Mi'kmaq tribe gave them, because they didn't like the taste. Turns out it was potatoes. Can you imagine that?
Sure, I don't like them either. Now would I rather starve then eat potatoes? Can't say until I've lived through it... well or don't
