Yes people, I have eaten purple potatoes. Ian
Fairlie purple potatoes if I'm not mistaken... hmmm.
Was it weird? Yes it was! You look at the things
on your plate and your brain is going 'Woah! Hang on there just a minute, these
can't be potatoes! They're purple!' and another part of you is going 'Well
these smell like potatoes, they taste like potatoes...they must be potatoes'
So pretty much as I ate them there was a little
conflict going on inside me as to whether I was actually eating roast potatoes
or not. A truly weird experience. My verdict though is that they actually taste
better than normal potatoes, once you get round the obvious difference in
colour. They have a more...nutty kind of flavour and, well, they look pretty
damn cool.
What my family thought... everyone liked them
except one of my brothers, the food wise unadventurous one. But that's only
because I told him eating purple potatoes was like eating play dough. Maybe I
should have kept my mouth shut.
