| #15 looks a bit like one I'm getting from T&M. I don't think it's on the website, as it was a subscriber offer but it looks pretty much the same except that the darker bits are a pinky colour. It's called Mayan Twilight.

| I like number 1 - mainly for its name Atahualpa! One of the ancient South American rulers. It probably tastes of chilli or choclate!

He has lots of flaboyant potatoes : Translated version of http://mitglied.lycos.de/rkraft/Kartoffelfotos/kartoffel.htm His Bicolour seedlings looks like the no. 15.

| I've got some of the red Franceline spuds chitting, but I'm not sure about potatoes with too vivid a colour flesh!  These are Bamberger squirrels! I'm not sure whether UK Customs allows us to bring in potatoes even from the EU? Anyone know?

| I love experimenting and tasting new stuff . The colour ones are very high in pigment (antochyanin) and suppose to be very very potent antioxidant in fighting free radical which in the end result as anti cancer. Perhaps we have to eat loads to get the effect .
