I was always going to drill holes in them, or in the rims to get them on the back of the massey, then I found some massey weights on ebay

Chips shops here paying £13.75 a bag for English Markies.

That's £550 a ton.

Double your money !

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Double your money !

Would love too!

Surprised they will pay it? My local chip shop I supply was not happy when I put them up to £6 a bag delivered this week!

Oh there is a little cartel running here, and the English spud job is sown up between a very limited number of hands.

Take a lorry to Lincs or Cambs - fill her up with spuds, bring her back on the ferry and double your money.

Local spuds generally not worth a f**k for frying here, or more to the point, the dickheads in the chip shop cant fry spuds and need the 'spud for dummies' to fry ie English Piper or Markies.

Local spuds grown on a large scale aren't worth a fudge for anything! What is it that makes English Piper so much better than Piper grown in Northern Ireland?

Dry matter - English boys can get much higher dry matter in their Piper. If you steam some English Piper they should be so dry that you would need half a pint of Guinness to wash them down your neck.

I'm sure that you have fried some large Kerrs Pinks for chips, and they are really nice, again a variety that generally is high dry matter.

Thanks, always wondered why everyone including the celebrity chefs rave about Piper, yet any that I've grown or bought haven't been anything special.

Enlighten us a little more on how it's sown up.

It tends to be sugars not dry matters that reduce the fry quality of Irish crop. As soon as the temp drops fry quality deteriorates.

Some of it is down to the length of growing season.
Long growing season leads to higher dry matter and more resilient fry quality.

Lorries down to Newmarket everyday with woodshavings on and spuds back. You are near enough to Newmarket @Sonoftheheir to make it work.

That would be james Donnelly sometimes it's eggs down to Edmonton and potatoes back. You don't have to be close to Newmarket.
