sure they work with other spuds, though they're probably not as good. ;-)

I'll happily get you some from our local shop and send them but don't think
I can manage to get them from Jersey to you. ;-) That said, the farmer
I'm waiting to hear from always sends me a box of Royals every year and one
year (after I'd joked about it) included a pack of Jersey butter, too!
But I think I've tracked down Iris's source where you can order direct.

Thanks Sacha saved for next year.

A friend who lives 1000 metres up in the Alps above Nice has a nice
(Nice?) problem all the seed spuds are sold to and by those at sea
level and all gone by January. There were none left when she looked on
Good Friday. She's ordered some from a French mail order place.

Whoops, I thought it was seed potatoes :-)

While in the Canary Isles I was a little surprised to see that the farmers
always used 'Certified Scottish' for planting~~as of course we do.
They cooked the potatoes in either seawater or dry salt! They were
delicious ~especially the latter.
They also grew a variety that was exceptionally expensive and never larger
than a walnut. Seemed to be about £2 a lb.

We had "real Canary" soup, in Lanzarote. The soup was bright yellow
and tasted of seawater. Of all the places I've been, the food in
Lanzarote was the worst.

Keep off the soup in tourist resorts. I agree its terrible and goodness only
knows what goes in it. Fish bones in vegetable soup!! Even the genuine
soups are not to our [my] taste. Cabbage and carrots however are very
pleasant and have a totally different flavour to those in the UK.
I have had a house and garden in Tenerife [for winter months] for the
last 15years and am still dubious about their cooking.
