Spud Order for our Site (Interesting link to our Poll)

fatbelly · « **on:** January 22, 2011, 11:25 »

At our site we have been collating spud orders and we are going to the Gordale Potato weekend next Saturday to buy a bulk order.

Here is our combined order which includes 1st and 2nd Earlies, Salad Spuds and Maincrop.
I take note that Desiree are the most popular spud which mirrors the spud poll on here that we had a month or two ago. Also if I remember correctly our most popular spuds in the poll are also high on the list for orders from our plotters, as far as I am aware I am the only one on our site to post on here so they won't have used our poll.

All weights are in Kilos.

Home Guard 13,
Lady Christi 16.5,
Maris Bard 14.5,
Red Duke of York 15,
Ulster Prince 44.5,

Catriona 2,
Vales Emerald 9,
Charlotte 20.5,
Estima 10.5,
(Jersey Royal) 12,
Marfona 11.5,
Wilga 34,

Cara 26,
Desiree 59.5,
Maris Piper 20.5,
Pentland Dell 11.5,
Romano 44,
Valor 29.

I went down there with the potatoes myself and it was a great day out last year.

Once you get there and see the other varieties that are there you will end up buying more.

On the original list provided by Gordale there were about 100 variety's but as a society we couldn't list them all because it would have been to much trouble, so we whittled the list down to about 20 choices which is a vast improvement on our previous bulk supplier who offered us , Romano, Ulster Prince, Rocket, Wilja and Valor.

I thought we could have offered more than the 20 variety's we did, but the people who collated the orders wanted to keep it to no more than 20 which I can understand.

The Jersey Royals / International Kidney have been ordered by a few plotters in the hope that they can achieve the Jersey taste that we get in the shops late May time. But from what I know its not just about the variety of spud its also the soil and climate they are grown in.

I'm really, really annoyed. I just found out the annual Potato Day in Swindon was today, and I missed it

It would be interesting to see what the most popular spuds are as far as Iain is concerned.
