Is this the spud of the century?

I dug up this specimen of Pink Fir Apple potato this evening. Believe it or not, that is a single spud in the photo. It weighed about a pound and a half. We’ve eaten it now. It was delicious. :slight_smile:

That’s gorgeous! The skin is so pink and lovely-looking. It reminds me of strawberries! :slight_smile:

I like the harmonica, the vase, the ceramic jar and the lichen-covered wood, too! :slight_smile:

Conjoined taters.

I won a prize once at a local flower and produce show for the most amusingly-shaped vegetable. It was a large carrot with a three-forked root, two forks of which looked like legs crossed and the third which looked for all the world like a huge willy. I wish I’d taken a photo of it, dammit.

Did you eat it?

:laughing: I can’t help feeling that there’s more behind that question than meets the eye…

Just don’t take it on a plane, okay?

That’s a revealing non-answer. :wink:

Is it a Suzuki?

I imagine you ate it skin and all? I couldn’t imagine trying to peel it.

Dude. That is, like, a Klingon spud.

That spud looks as if it has been fed too much manure. Sorry, I just can’t stop banging on about the Bush régime :smiley: .

I just washed it with all the others in a jet from the hosepipe, cut it into chips and baked it in olive oil in a hot oven for half an hour. Nectar. Very agreeable with some real butcher’s sausages. I only peel spuds bought from the shop, unless they’re organic, which mine are. :slight_smile:

What kind of harmonica is that? Is that a wooden comb?

Nah, it’s just an ancient super-cheapie Suzuki Folkmaster in G. The comb is red plastic. I keep it with me at all times, like a comfort blanket. You can’t do that with a sousaphone!

eat it? EAT IT???

Dude - you should have put it on eBay!

I’ve got three more rows of Pink Fir Apple spuds still to lift. There may be even better ones under there. I’ll let you know! :slight_smile:

Proof positive that the alleged high levels of radiation emitted from radon gas in Cornwall are a complete crock. Isn’t that right, Mr Burns? Mr Burns?


See if you can find one that looks like the Virgin Mary.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
