Never had 'em.

Such a pain in the arse though aren’t they. Peeling and chopping the pricks does my head in.

I’m going to disgrace the thread here by talking about a non potato based thing but it’s too boring for anywhere else.

Yesterday I had a vegan platter at a meeting, it was pretty great actually, the star being a butternut squash kebab, it was just squash covered in a very garlicky gremolata. There was plenty leftover and all the carnivores got on it and loved it and made a point of saying how much they liked the sweet potato and pesto.

It was then, as I acknowledged my furious internal snob, I knew I was never destined to spend time around other humans.

When my mum met me at the airport when I came home from Australia she had a can of coke and a packet of potato cakes as a welcome home. The only time she’s ever understood me.

it’s good, but is it worth the time?

often no

Also, enjoyed finding out that Parmentier potatoes are named after the bloke who was basically head of the Spud Marketing Board in France during the 18th century.

We’re on completely different pages about this. I don’t see a way we can reconcile our respective opinions on the matter but I wish you all the best nonetheless.
