Half an hour later.
William Thomson returned to the carriage with freshly washed potatoes in tow.
By then, Will had already prepared the pots and firewood and, with Xu Yun's nimble help, started chopping potatoes into the pot for supper.

For many people,
the impression is that Westerners don't much care for pork, their menus usually featuring beef, lamb, and poultry.

Germans, on the other hand, are huge fans of pork knuckle.
So much so that even German McDonald's sells pork knuckle; even soccer stadiums for Bundesliga games offer pork knuckle.
