Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

We had some last week dabby and thought they were tastier than last year, when they seemed a bit insipid. I must say though, that we tend to use Charlotte now in preference to the Jerseys and they are usually cheaper..

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

Yes we had some last weekend and they were very nice,I think you do loose some of your taste buds as you get older, I have I am always saying that tasted of nothing,but joe thinks they are alright.

You can add brains to that as well I have just been trying to put a comma in the piece that was already posted.

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

I bought some Jersey Royals last week ...... I don't eat potatoes myself but my husband said he really enjoyed them.

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

Every year I look forward to the first Jersey Royals and I had my first ones a few weeks ago.
They were a ridiculous price and I found them rather disappointing with little taste

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

I bought some half price and thought they were ok but nothing to write home about. I usually use charlottes as well. The royals were slightly better in taste

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

Had some for tea on Sunday...they were rubbish-totally tasteless!
Both myself and my Sister were disappointed as we were looking forward to them!

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

I must say that there are no potatos that taste like my Dads out of the garden, or tomato straight off the plant in the Greenhouse.

Re: Jersey Royal Potatoes ..

Yep , they seem to get worse every year merz . Im wondering if we just dont buy them out of Tradition , at a ridiculous price .
