AIBU to be pissed off with potatoes?

Am I the only one wondering why it doesn't seem possible to buy decent sized potatoes anymore? I have just peeled my way through half a bag full and the majority of them in any 'supermarket' bag now are about the size of a bloody golf ball. There are 9 of us. Even if you buy a sack then the large majority of them are what we used to call 'pig tates' ie. the ones that used to be discarded for animal feed because they weren't bloody big enough to sell!

It takes forever to peel enough of them so that we can have sausage and mash for tea (I know...we are sophisticated Grin). The ones I have scraped are nearly all black at some point. It's like the damn Irish potato famine.

I also loathe packs of 'baking potatoes' which generally contain 4 potatoes about the size of a tennis ball. That is not a 'baking potato' FFS!

WHAT HAPPENED TO BIG POTATOES?

Potato not potatoe.

...sorry.. Bugs me!

And the rain last summer caused the issue, this springs cold weather is delaying planting next years crop.

Don't peel the potatoes! !

Life is too short.

And potatoes are too tiny.

It is known ;)
