To each his own! @BHB - It wouldn't be a race if they only swam one way! :roll: I think they are marvelous to even attempt it. @Daily Spud - I admit I am odd…. there were plenty in my family who liked a mountain of butter melting into their spuds, the sight and smell were enough to turn my stomach never mind the taste.

When Rosemary-- & Paul (my son) get there, they have to turn around & swim back because it's a race. (No rest for the weary.) Problem is the current tries to take them elsewhere.

Even when odes were written or songs sung about how good the potatoes were, it was beyond my understanding. To me they were and still are a filler to line the stomach. Lorna,

I remember once visiting an ex-boyfriend's house (about 23 years ago - gosh, that makes me feel old) and there were 10 in his family - I can still remember his mum lifting a colossal bowl of floury potatoes onto the table and an older sister sitting in to peel them for the youngest kids Gosh, Grannymar, you must have never had a truly floury potato - once had, never forgotten!!!
