In the US it started in 1950 A grower called F. Gilbert 'Gib' Lamb opens a food processing company called Lamb Weston, in Weston, Oregon (US). He invents the water gun knife. This revolutionary invention is the world's first cutting machine designed to cut fries under high water pressure.

The story follows Mary Maloney, a housewife who kills her husband using a frozen leg of lamb. Mary then sets up a crime scene and tricks the investigating officers into eating the now-cooked lamb, disposing of the evidence.

Roald Dahl wrote "Lamb to the Slaughter", one of his most well-known short stories, in 1953. Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series, purportedly suggested the story's plot to Dahl. Roald Dahl also wrote stories for children.

China is now the world's top potato producer, followed by India, Russia, and Ukraine. The United States is the fifth largest producer of potatoes in the world (NPC).

Potato was likely first brought to Russia from the Netherlands by Emperor Petr I (Peter the Great) in 1698 at the end of his European tour.

McDonald's The fast-food chain, which counts McDonald's among one of its biggest customers, has benefited from raising prices to protect margins from elevated costs and has seen little resistance even as still-high inflation squeezes customer budgets.

The main competitors of Lamb Weston include Lancaster Colony (LANC), Kraft Heinz (KHC), Albertsons Companies (ACI), Conagra Brands (CAG), Molson Coors Beverage (TAP), Celsius (CELH), Clorox (CLX), J. M. Smucker (SJM), Campbell Soup (CPB), and International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF).

Today, Americans consume approximately 70 million pounds (32,000 t) of Tater Tots, or 3,710,000,000 Tots per year.

The Tater Tot is the brainchild of two Mormon brothers, F. Nephi and Golden Grigg, who started a factory on the Oregon-Idaho border that they appropriately named Ore-Ida. The brothers started the factory in 1951 after being convinced that frozen foods were the next big thing.
