Potato Bread consists of: 2 level cups of freshly mashed potatoes 2 Tbsp butter 1/4 cup flour salt and pepper
Is that really potato bread? I grew up in Northern Ireland and have travelled quite extensively around the country. Never have I seen potato bread that looked like that, nor have I known it been made with leavened flour. That looks like a wheaten loaf to me which is something completely different. I suggest that unless someone know better and some provenance can be provided for this photograph, then it should be removed from the article. The potato bread I've always been used to looks like the tatty scone in the other article. I admit that this may be due to Scottish influence in the area in which I grew up and maybe other parts of Ireland have different types of potato bread that I haven't encountered which is why I haven't removed the picture from the article just yet. Similarly there is a claim made in the article that potato bread is mainly served on special occasions- again this is at odds with my experience. We used to eat it with every fry which was usually about twice a week, besides which every guest house in the country serves it more or less on a daily basis.

I have looked at the picture in more detail and it appears to have been taken by someone who made this loaf themselves. Fair enough it does contain potatoes but it is not representative of the traditional Irish potato bread that the article seems to be about. Again the tone of the article is misleading. It starts with a general description of what may constitute potato bread, then launches into a description of and recipe for Irish potato bread- which it previously describes as a variant. Since the categories linked to include Irish cuisine, Irish breads and Unleavened breads I suggest that this article should be about Irish potato bread, with an appropriate photograph rather than the one currently used.

It has been discussed above, but I just want to note that this article has a nearly singular focus on Ireland and the types of potato bread found there. The article should be re-written to be neutral in country of origin except in noting where potato bread was invented, etc... I can find references to potato bread in dozens of cultures, ranging from the Cherokee, to European nations like Germany, Poland, Ireland, to modern mass-production of breads containing some potato in countries like the United States.

I've just looked this up with surprise after hearing the word on Brain of Britain. Here in Wales 'fadge' is a nickname for the vagina. Is that worth mentioning in the main article. It's certainly the truth... Martyn Smith ( talk) 14:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
