I thought so too. Did she say "patata"? Anyway, she's cute in a
slightly annoying way.

Indeed she did. She also said that Americans say potata and tomata, but
my experience is that they pronounce the "o" as an "o" and not as an "a".

I don't live in the US. I have to go by my limited experience in the US
and the areas where I have been tend to pronounce the "o". A lot of
the exposure is through movies and TV where regional accents are
affectations.

Often the 'o' is neither an 'o' nor an 'a', but a schwa.

Yep. Sometimes people in the south might use the "a" at the end in plural
form like "pataytas" or they might even say "patayters" but it is usually in
jest.

Only sometimes in the south or when others pretend to have a Southern
accent.

She said it was a cross between a cabbage and a turnip.

A lot of Americans (me among them) pronounce a lot of vowels all
as a schwa.

<http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_valley/2014/06/05/schwa_the_word_for_the_most_common_vowel_sound_in_ english_comes_from_hebrew.html>

I do a bit better in formal settings, but when I'm chattering away,
many of the unstressed vowels sound alike.

The one that hits my ear is the way Brits (let's say, Received Pronunciation
and similar dialects) pronounce "perfect". You can really hear the short
e sound in the second syllable, but in the U.S. it's almost always a schwa,
and the word almost sounds like perfkt.

I must have missed that. I couldn't really pay keen attention to her as I
found her very off-putting.

I haven't heard anyone around here not say potato. Or tomato. Nobody says patata.

Yep. A bunch of taste differences like that are genetic.

The one I remember best is the first time I encountered a person who detected paprika as hot. Before that everyone I knew detected paprika as having a very subtle flavor and no heat at all. They guy told me I must have under one quarter Hungarian blood, like he'd been saying that his entire life. Which I figure he had been telling folks his entire life.

I lack the avocado tasting gene. I don't dislike avocados they just have zero flavor to me.

As a child, I feared paprika because I remember someone telling me that it
was hot. It's not. I do prefer the flavor of the sweet Hungarian though.

Paprika (at least the peppers) did not originate in Hungary.
