After only a week, I was completely converted! There wasn't room for one at our old house, but we bought one very soon after moving in here and I would hate to be without it. <br /><br />I love potatoes (there are some baking in the oven right now), so I ought to give the purple ones a try. They don't look all that appetising though. <br />.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600329429654831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29905191.post-79063005783472500622013-09-30T16:39:16.403+01:002013-09-30T16:39:16.403+01:00For taties, my favorite has always been the Yukon ...For taties, my favorite has always been the Yukon Golds.<br /><br />But I'll give your purples ones a try, especially if they've been roasted.

I will eat anything that walks, crawls, swims or flies. <br /><br />People get hung up about all sorts of things with food. I'm willing to try most things. I may not go back for seconds, but I'll give it a go.<br /><br />It's weird what Dave said about blue and purple - I love blueberries and beet root!<br /><br />xxRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469442580348062913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29905191.post-12923646403856486742013-09-30T12:42:03.760+01:002013-09-30T12:42:03.760+01:00Roses, I admire your adventurous spirit in the foo...Roses, I admire your adventurous spirit in the food department.
