Yep! Shop at TFC in Leytonstone (but not where I live).
You can get a bag of Maris pipers for £3-£4 or Cyprus pots at over £12-£15. Big difference. |

*lol* @Dhav
but you are right.
I love potatoes in general and even though I do not usually cook I have a whole cookbook with recipes for potatoes only.
The ones from Cyprus are usually sold here in spring. The rest of the year we have 'ours'. Don't know the reason behind that. |

It's the same in the UK City. The big supermarkets source many of their potatoes from Cyprus during the winter as this is when the main growing season for Cypriot potatoes is. Although, given the drought and frosts this year, I don't know how many potatoes will be coming from Cyprus now. |
