Irish famine. Edit: there is not a potato for every occasion.
Corn: hold my beer
Rice: hold my sake
Hemp: hold your breath
Potatoes get plenty of recognition and always have.

easy to smoke out of too
dunno if that's healthy since raw potatoes are poisonous to eat. can't imagine them being good for you to smoke out of. but hey, when in a pickle a potato would probably do

having the occasional raw potato wont hurt you, unless you are dumb and eat one thats solid green.
Baked potatoes fancy? I love a baked potato with beans and cheese, but it's hardly fancy.
Fondant potatoes are what you want for fancy (and delicious).
