Picked our first new potatoes yesterday for Sunday lunch, one plant,
just enough for two. The variety was new to me, SWMBO decided to try a
variety called Rocket.
Certainly very early, but flavour was insipid, I don't think we'll be
trying them again.

Oh dear, Don. I cringe when I hear Rocket mentioned. I grew them
once and never again. In my experience, prone to slugs and quite
tasteless.

No probs with slugs, probably not flavoursome enough for them :-) .
SWMBO says she will sauté them with plenty of garlic or possibly add
them to a lamb kleftiko.
