Maybe it went to the Zombie Digest, currently being populated by Incognito and Ingo? (Maybe this weekend will we issues of two different Glorantha Digests, and none of hw-rules or herowars...)

I imagine that Genertela has spuds, since the model for its flora and fauna seems to be essentially North American, in some at least stream of conscious fashion. I'm not so sure of anywhere they'd be a staple, though. Maybe eastern Fronela and western Peloria? (Hey, an excuse for Carmanian Vodka, to continue my campaign of invoking the Forbidden God and having wildly anachronistic technology like distillation (or the effective equivalent) hither and yon.)
Cheers,
Alex.
