I saw something about it on a documentary once .... it quite put me off the place .. a funny little man buzzing around on his bike, consistently failing in his efforts to pronounce the word onion ...
I'm surprised anyone goes there at all ... |

So you missed the documentary on mash potato?
yummy mash potato... one of the finer things in life.
I usually add butter, milk, mayo, salt, pepper and coriander. How do you make mash potato? |

I always suspected that Turkish mashed spuds came straight from a tin of that powdered potato c.rap.
As for how the baked potato men abuse their baked spuds - well, that's a crime. And you should always eat the skins. Of the baked potato that is, not the baked potato men. |
