Yes, it sounds like a quizz question. The potatoes I've tried are probably the size of chesterfield, compared to the potatoes there are like the size of the US.

What I have grown, Charlotte springs to mind without much thought as a very waxy number, no main crop I know, but it stores jolly well. 8)

Damnit, Damnit, Damnit.

I've got to agree with gobs again. We've had a cracking crop of Charlotte this year as well. Just found a root I missed earlier in the year - 20 good sized spuds in it!
