I googled this and one of the top results was from this forum - last time you mentioned these! :lol:
The Norfolk Blue might have been a local name and they might have been or still be grown more widely under another name. I've heard lore from round here where Ilive that there used to be a local blue potato, but I've never been able to find anything on the internet about it.
