Does anyone know what variety of potato is likely to be the one you

the supermarket - the normal everyday white potatoes in plastic bags for
about 90p or thereabouts for 2.5kg?

I know what you mean.
Very often in the supermarket I see potatoes labelled as "potatoes",
but no
particular variety.
What does that mean? They must be some kind of variety, surely?
Nick

Do you require tomatoes, cucumbers and paprika to be labelled with the
variety?

Tomatoes and peppers usually are, here, so are mushrooms apples,
oranges pears and lettuce.

Janet.

Ah, ok.
I'd never noticed that before, other than "cocktail tomatoes" or "bell
peppers".
