What do you call....

[hamster]

potatoes that aren't new potatoes?

[mrsflibble]

Fred.

no, seriously, erm. old ones?

[the.fee.fairy]

Um...just potatoes?

Or are you looking to be fancy schmancy with proper names?

In that case i don't have a clue, they're all potatoes to me!

[hamster]

Nope, nothing fancy, just how you'd finish the following sentence: 'These aren't new potatoes, they're.....'

I have my reasons.

All will become clear.

maincrop?

Agree with the old potatoes comment - that's what we call em anyway... or tatties.

[ina]

...second hand?

Sorry - no idea!

[eztiger]

excuse me for being a bit tick, especailly all things spudly, does that mean that new pots are just young ones??

[ina]

Basically yes! Quite often they are neither young nor new in any normal sense; they are just small and come with their jackets on. (We had "new" potatoes delivered all year round at the hotel where I worked.... )

[ina]

OAPs! (thats old age potatoes)

I'd call them "mature". Much more positive.

[Milims]

Chips!

[mybarnconversion]

I'd call them old to differentiate from new - i.e. not new otherwise just potatoes or spuds ;)

[Russian Doll]
