Free vivaldi potatoes
« on: February 11, 2009, 15:24 »
We recently had a thread (can't find it now) about D T Brown having an offer for 10 free vivaldi seed potatoes
which then allowed you to order free lettuce seed and i did. The offer was  removed shortly after that and i didn't seriously think any thing would arrive as it was obviously an error on their site.

Today i received the lettuce and an invoice saying that the potatoes were being sent separately :lol: :lol:. If they do arrive there will be an awful lot of pots lined up along the path this year :D

Anybody else been lucky?

No, but good luck with the Vivaldi, they were developed not far from us!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_potato

Sounds yummy, this is from the Independent!

Naturally Best, the Lincolnshire firm that bred Vivaldi, spent nine years getting the carb and calorie count so low. Announced by the BBC with the headline "Scientists make 'slimming' potato", Vivaldi has increasingly made its mark on supermarket shelves, and now Marks & Spencer sells it in its luxurious vegetable line – surely the ultimate mark of posh-food acceptance.

However, the truth is in the tasting, and this potato is completely delicious, with soft, sweet, golden flesh that's genuinely melty. And it really does need loads less butter. A potato for people who shouldn't really be eating potatoes: how much better does life on a diet get?

I have a packet waiting at home for me, I ordered the 50p tom seeds too so I figured it was just those. Maybe I will get my tatties after all :D

I got an envelope with my free Cos seeds and, blow me, a box was left with a neighbour with my TWO bags of Vivaldi spuds (I thought I would be cheeky and see if they would send more than one lot!)

Statement for the grand total of £0.00...  :D :D

I'm chuffed and it makes up for missing out on the Free Seeds thingy!
