"So, doth thou hate potatoes?" or "So, thou hates potatoes?"
Well its middle engliwh not old english. You can tell because youbunderstand it even a little.
This is early modern English.
Maybe, i lump all that 'cant be sure a normal american will understand but still doesnt take much work' era of english in together.
Potatoes are a New World crop. They didn't exist in medieval Europe.

Exactly! I think we can both find common ground somewhere in the ice cream tub.
I upvoted you for solidarity but strawberry is my favorite flavor so also how dare you
Banana-kiwi-cashew
Fake banana tastes disgusting but kiwi is delicious
Fake banana tastes the way bananas used to taste back in the day, before they were all cavendish.
I know, and thank God they got rid of those things
Where the neopolitan lovers at?
They can go right to hell! /S
Presumably /s is a markup tag meaning "end of strawberries".
I didn't believe opinions could be wrong until I saw this
Potato rolls ftw
Which are delicious! One of my favorite style rolls!
Same!! It's my go-to for grilling season, but it's also versatile enough to cover lots more ground 🥪
Why dost thou harbor this vast hatred for wheat?
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
The people who think this isn't the case for the vast majority of humanity still have some growing up to do themselves.
