Hi RoadClosed,
Interesting about potatoes and such. They are all members of the Solanaceae family, and as such contain the poison solanine (C45H73NO15).
I guess we have:
Potato
Pepper
Aubergine (egg plant)
Nightshade
Henbane
Bittersweet
Tomato
Thornapple/Jimson weed (datura stramonium)
Nightshade also contains a fair dose of atropine, which is the real killer in its case.
Along the same lines, rhubarb stems are quite edible, but the leaves contain enough oxalic acid to take you out!
