delivered right to your door, who knew this service was available. Kerr's Pink potatoes have a distinctive pink colour with deep eyes.
They are quite floury and starchy. They are very good for mashing and
boiling but can also be chipped.
In Olden Tymes we had a van come every week delivering vegetables. Another came daily delivering milk. And another daily bread. Weekly fish. And often ice-cream.
I've heard of milk deliveries and drug deliveries but never potato deliveries. I guess, why not, potatoes and good and the bags are heavy. Just so they don't get stolen before you get them into the house! Love the way you got that truck entering the frame and I love that stone building, too.
When I was a boy we had delivery men for just about everything including potatoes. Now there's just the postman and the milkman left - and the milkman delivers to fewer and fewer each year.
Now that's a nice service! The best potatoes I've ever had have been in Ireland. (I'd had no idea they could be so tasty.) And at one memorable meal I had them prepared three different ways.
Hi Bill, How interesting about the potatoes! I love mashed potatoes. That is a lovely stone building.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a nice day.

ReplyDeleteMy grandmother loved floury potatoes but I haven’t heard anyone else refer to them that way in all the years since Nan died. Nan would love them Bill.

ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea. After all who wants to go to the supermarket just for a bag of potatoes!! : ))
ReplyDeleteHello Bill.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great service! The pink potatoes must be very special!
Like the stone wall of that building!
Have a nice day!
Dimi...
Now this is one I've never heard of but then the Irish have a love for potatoes.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of all the things I could do with a bag of potatoes like those. Delicious things!
ReplyDeletePotato delivery...love it! Also I am noticing on that building, the stone arches that are underneath the framing.
ReplyDeleteDelivering potatoes is a new one to me.

ReplyDeleteMakes sense for a farmer to deliver directly to the customers! I get beer delivered!
ReplyDeleteA service welcomed by many I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteSuperbly composed and shot!

ReplyDeleteWell that's not something that happens very often these days Bill, maybe a family business?
