Cheap spuds at ASDA

[jacob marley]

I was in asda yesterday and spotted some potatos on offer they was called traditional potatoes and upon reading the blurb on the bag the variety was Mayan Gold i thought we will have some of them .
The price 1.5 kilos for 50p and they are gorgeous so if you shop at asda give them a try at that price a steal .
And these are good for chips if that is your thing .
Ps i do not have any shares in asda ....jacob

We bought some 'new' potatoes from Asda the other week. They were called 'Marilyn' and they were lovely. I'm assuming they are a second early, but I've never heard of the variety before.

Thanks, Redthorn. If they ever become available here as seed potatoes I'll definitely give them a go.

Hi

Makes me think I would prefer to eat "normal" spuds, ones without chemicals that stop them growing; most of mine seem to sprout in the cupboard!
