What is the cultivar name?
Blue balls?

They might go well with one of these:

Kia ora Robert,
Those are amazing! How do they taste and what did you make with them?
Cheers,

Too rude?

Yes, on second thought it was!!

Genitalia and vege's (vegetalia) is no laughing matter!

robertguyton said...

But you'll do well to get your laughing gear around them Shunda (veges that is!)

I'm sorry to say I don't know the 'make' of these particular spuds. I was given them and didn't take note...however, I will plant their brothers out this season and multiply the joy - they are a very 'waxy' potato and delicious. These ones went into a vegetable curry with coconut cream - very successful and popular dish!

Those were the rare ones left by my grandmother I sent to you. You said you would remember their name for me because I was to stressed as I had lost 4 family members in four weeks/ but dont feel bad i have forgotten too and it was two yaars ago. Do you remember me tho?

Arahina - aroha mai!
My memory is a sieve!
It must be that we multiplied them up and now we're starting to eat some.
Can you email me, I'd love to hear more about these fabulous riwai and have my memory revived.
As to the name, I'll talk with my family this morning. - guy10@actrix.co.nz

Stupendous!! Gotta get me some, try and remember, I reckon they would fly off the shelves if readily available.
