Default Spuds

We all learn something every day.

Today it's time for you to learn something about the Spud...
or Potato, if you prefer Oxford English.

I have potatoes coming out of my ear

Everything in this country is made with potatoes, potatoes this potatoes that, potatoes with this....

And everyone stereotypes Ireland with potatoes, it should be Slovenia

I like potatoes fried, baked, mashed...and ever since I was in the navy 45 years ago I've enjoyed the occasional raw potato, well-scrubbed with a little salt.

I even heard a rumor that they make something called potato ice cream and they say it's very tasty.

I can't resist potato logs made in a pressure cooker with various seasonings they can even be better than chicken

Mum was given an old german recipe for a baked cheesecake. Main ingredient........ mashed potato.

Quite surprising. Would be hard pressed to tell the difference from a regular one, it was that good.
