we had new potatoes for tea tonight, roasted with their skins on. we had mash, too, but that was swede and carrot.

we had mashed spuds, and mashed swede and carrot...it was lush, we had peas too, and fishcakes

I read on the back of a packet of kettle chips that' they've tested over 120 varieties of potato to find the right one for their 'crisp' - what's going on there then?

 

[Wolfie]

what kind of test do you think they gave them?

like the 11 plus maybe, but for potatoes

 

[milesy]

maybe they gave them all an eye test.

 

[MysteryGuest]

[Wolfie]

maybe they gave them all an eye test.

that was a kind of a joke wasn't it?

well done

 

[milesy]

surely everyone knows reading is in berkshire, not essex?

 

[MysteryGuest]

maybe they gave them all an eye test.

And got them to work out square roots!


LOL.

yes, thanks, it was a joke of the incredibly funny and intelligent variety, of which i am one of the main proponents on these boards

I was more confuesd by the earlier assertion that there were only 85 varieties of spud, but if you 'wags' want to make a 'joke' out of 'it' then that's 'fine'.

 

[MysteryGuest]

Oh. Don't worry, I won't be chipping in again.

 

[sam/phallocrat]
