Does anyone else think that some Canadian potatoes taste like disinfectant? Nearly choked on my shepherds pie last night. Bleuch!! Have bought 2 different brands that taste like this (or soap according to my son) Don't think it is the water as this has happened in 2 different places. It's murder!!

nikki dreaming

to be honest havent noticed any issues with potatoes here,

what water sources have you been on at both properties?

Atlantic Xpat

Errm. No, I've not noticed that. I think the problem might be at your end not the potato's.

Oink

Yes, the potatoes you get here are awful. I think its the crap soil they have.

fledermaus

No, they taste OK, especially Yukon Gold. I find it tiresome that there are so many blemishes and black bits in them though, that and the lack of new potatoes in the shops but the spuds are fine.

I speak as an expert, I love spuds, me.

Aviator

No, seem fine. I like the Russets we get here as well my faves, Jersey Royals

fledermaus

you get jersey royales? I would kill for jersey royales. I couldnt even find seed potatoes.

Aviator

I do and am just about to go out and dig a few up for supper. First crop this year. Nothing like a salad with a few Jerseys dabbed with butter and a sprig of fresh mint

fledermaus

Send me some please, pretty please? I can plant them next year. Please. I will be nice to you forever.

Aviator

You never know, see what sort of crop I get. I got them from a buddy, he only gave me a dozen for seed and I had to cut them in 4 to get a decent row! Apparently he took a few years of growing seed before he even cooked a single spud.

I try not to think about potatoes too much. If I did, I might find myself on the nearest plane back to the homeland and that could turn into an expensive habit. I suppose there would be less jetlag involved by indulging instead in gigolos and coke.

fledermaus

I await the news. It will be hard but I'll try.
