Time is winding down. There's only three days left to my travels.
The city I'm in today was once known by a different name. It was originally named for the great number of trees there.
Previously in my travels I went to a museum dedicated to soda. But today I'm going to a museum dedicated to a vegetable. Once I pay the admission here, I'll receive a product made from the vegetable. I got up pretty early this morning and had breakfast about two hours ago, so I could stand to get a snack there.
A fun fact about this vegetable: is that it is made up of about 80% water.
What was the original name of the city I'm in today, and what treat will the museum give me for paying the admission?

Staying with first answer for Blackfoot.

Potato Museum in Blackfoot, Idaho the city was previously named Grove city. They give out different samples including potato chips, baked potatoes, and to the "out of staters" hashbrowns.
I think that covers it all.
By the way nearly all fresh produce is 90% water.
Do you know why it is called Blackfoot? It has nothing to do with Native Americans?
Good Quiz.
I agree it is Blackfoot, Idaho.
I have missed going there everytime I have visited my brother and his wife in Idaho.
