in praise of spuds

[User169]

My son learnt how to make a really good Tartouflette during his year in Dijon.

A dish invented in the 1980s to flog cheese!

What's wrong with baked spuds?

Almost everything, since you asked...

What about roast sweet potatoes, and Sauteed potatoes.. yummy. Even Marks and Spencers ready made mash in a little foil tray for about a £1, handy if you're in a hurry!

Where's the dislike button?

...and very smelly cheese at that!

forgive people their small in-joke. It's just that some of us have noticed that 3BM eats his chips with pinky extended

One can't fit all one's fingers onto one's monogrammed sterling silver chip fork can one.

That differs from the corned beef hash I'm used to Vern but it sounds good, a bit like the Hot Pot my mam used to make when I was a kid but nicer. Sounds ile good food after a few hours in the saddle on a day like today, just gone head on into a sleet shower, what fun

Like Yarg - but what's not to like?

Nothing (other than the instant coronary)! I'd just assumed it was some kind of traditional savoyarde thing. They were selling it at the Christmas market in Brussels last week.

I think you'll find, 3BM, that the jacket potato is so irredeemably middle-class that you are wasting your time trying to prole it up with baked beans. It just looks like class tourism; like self-conscious slumming. You just have to roll with it. There's a reason it was missing from the OP, you know.

I don't know about 'class' but IMO Baked Potato is the worlds most boring food product, even if Dita Von Teese covered in caviar or baked-beans cheese and Worcestershire sauce was the filling for a baked potato it would still be irredemably dull.

Funny how raw potato's never caught on...

You, Sir, are a man of taste.

You couldn't be more wrong, Fooders. You could try, but your efforts would be doomed to failure. People who don't like baked spuds are doing them wrong. That's all there is to it.

I didn't realise Fabbers was such a maroon - calls himself a foodie and and doesn't like a jacket!

It's precisely because I'm a Foodie I don't like a Jacket

You may think that, but you'd be wrong!
