Why do Russians eat potatoes without the skin?

[George Hawrysch]

> Let them peel whatever they want for whatever reason.

 From my grandfather: The German soldiers occupying the part
of Eastern Europe he was in then had never seen watermelons.
They would cut them open, throw out all the yucky red stuff,
and eat what remained. He said they found it most delicious.
