Bringing seeds from India
The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:
If you are in a position to grow them, there are some much better
tasting varieties. If you have to buy them, go for King Edwards,
which are perhaps the most easily available potato that tastes of
something.
And if you can get them, which is unlikely, try Zulu Queen. Cut, they
have a purple ring inside, and sometimes, purple rays reaching towards
the centre.
On the Isle of Lewis they're still to be found on some crofts, having
survived since the turn of the last century.
While the flavour is magnificent, the appearance is horrible, the purple
parts turning prepschoolboy-flannels grey.
