Love the spuds. Just wish restaurants would give an alternative to chips with everything (although have to say do love the chips, too).

No doubt the Cyprus spud is one of the best in the world and I love em. Cyprus soil is so fertile.



The "May Queen" Irish potato in my opinion is the best.



Not bad eh....when I'm in both country's I get spoilt.

Lilli, you certainly know your stuff.



Hope you are feeling better now.



Patricia & Bel are still in Cyprus, said they had a lovely time with your company and good food as usual in your restaurant. ( I had Linda's mum and her friend in tow so could not get away to meet you)



I will be tucking in to some Irish pots on the 31st when I am over next.

As a matter of interest the seed potato for ' Cyprus Spuds ' come from Ireland. As a boy have spent many days picking the seed potato to send here.

The May Queen is a great spud. Nice and flowerey.

Great spuds, so why do some places serve frozen chips, surely they can't be cheaper!!!

I will never understand why they serve frozen chips or veg here, I put it down to laziness, we have some of the best spuds and veg in the world ( I do love Jersey Royals though ) x

Ayrshire new potatoes the best for me. Cyprus spuds do make the best chips.
