I am reluctant to use this lovely, heart-shaped potato but use it I must. Such a potato would not be sold in Britain - not in a town shop, at any rate - but there it was, nestling in the middle of the string bag of potatoes I bought today.
Misshapen potatoes, uncurvy cucumbers, knobbly peppers, angular aubergines - all contribute to the joy of being here. Imperfection can be charming in humans, so why should it not be thus with regard to foodstuffs?
Perform the operation carefully welchcakes. They are like little conjoined twins.
ReplyDeleteI will, MM!
ReplyDeleteCertainly thrown in the bin here too. Somehow the vegetables seem real in Italy, lacking uniformity but real.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago here was a heart shaped potato from Idaho up for auction on eBay, haha. I don't think it sold....
ReplyDeleteA genuine candidate for the top of the pops. :)
ReplyDeleteBon, appetit, Welsh.
Hi, jmb. Yes, that is how I feel about them. Pink - I never thought about ebay!! Merci, cher Sean.
