    Can someone please explain to me, and as there a lot of Paddys here. What is the difference between old and new potatoes.
    Okay I'll start it off as I'm sure to be corrected but here is My view of it, mearly by observation, as I've never gone into it deeply.
    New potatoes are small and young, the skin is so thin that you can eat them with the skin on.
    Old potatoes are huge, like My balls, they are used for baked potatoes, mash, roast, boiled, but they have a tough old skin, and therefore require a potato peeler.
    Not my impression, though I can see where you get yours.
    New potatoes are freshly dug and can be as big as any potato. Old potatoes have been out of the ground for a while and that's why the skin is tougher.
    I daresay some enzyme action has gone on internally, too, plus a slight drying out and thus a slightly different taste.

    Yep, never been to India.
    So what do you make of those Thai mangos that they sell for khaoniao mamuang?
    These are the ones with a very slender seed that can't be planted. Almost no hairyness to the seed, and rich, very sweet flesh. Because the seed is so thin, there is an abundance of flesh.
    I think they are the best I have ever had (which includes being better than Pacific mangoes, lol.)

    One of the things I miss about Thailand are the mangos. A friend sold over 100 tons every year to top quality exporters, and I was always deep with his culls which were much better than anything at the market. Back in the USA, am eating more fruit than I did in Thailand, but it is peaches, plums, apples, and nectorines. It has been a good year for those here.

    I think they were probably grown in Egypt. Without doubt, the best potatoes in the world are grown near the Nile Delta.

    The best spuds are native and grown in their native Andean environment.

    Cyprus potatoes the best I've tasted, lovely texture, great for all round use
    A raw potato also is good for rubbing onto nicotine stained fingers, gets it all off

    Nice life hack...not that I get the stains (used to with rollies), but interesting nonetheless.

    Where do the best dates come from?

    The ones I've had in the West were fine when they were young, but, as they ripen can be a bit expensive.

    I've never tried Bangkok Escorts, but Sophia always has her banner flying...(Or are those her panties airing in the breeze?)...

    Absolutely fantastic fruit and apparently very good for you.

    One fruit I forgot to mention is Mangostein and I believe it is only grown in Thailand.
    i dont thinkso LT.every kiwi knows what its origins are, they just knew how to market it effectively.

    From working in MEA, my votes would be Iran, Syria, and Egypt (in that order).

    My opinion is that date variety is more important than country of origin. Medjool is the best, IMHO.

    ^ Good point, Neverna. Probably true for quite a few fruits mentioned here. So it comes down to where the good varieties grow best.
