Thanks monkeynic,
I'm looking at spuds for 65 years and I never saw the likes.

you can sow the seeds from those fruits and the following year you can plant the mini tubers produced and who knows you might produce the next great variety of potatoes.

Ah! I'd say ye have special soil in Inishowen to grow those spuds.
You wouldn't get them that big in Tipperary
I must call over for a barrow of Inishowen clay
