Personally, I love the comfort of a jacket potato, crisp skinned, having been playfully rubbed with olive oil and sea salt. When cooked, split to it's gizzards and fluffed of fork, add butter. Nothing more is needed! Lights low, peace and quiet, roaring fire, a glass of wine. Just me, a fork and my majestic friend. The jacket potato is indeed food for the soul.
5th January 2012 - my diary entry
Good day with xxxxx. Went to purchase my seed taters for 2012. It didn't start well as I forgot my list of new varieties to be tried. So I had to make it up and this became a positive. I was recommended Amorosa and Bluebelle, the latter being the beauty queen of the vegetable show bench. The label suggested it the choice of the gourmet gods. SOLD!
What of my other choices? Salad Blue because it's different. Red Duke of York, because I always have! Pink Fir, ditto. Lady Christl, because everyone says so. I also added Arran Pilot, Lady Balfour, Piccolo Star, Yukon Gold and Swift.
I have a few more desired varieties in mind, which I will get from Ryton's Potato day. The two day event takes place on 28th/29th January. Maybe see you there!
