Potatoes I have known and loved

Years ago, on some other website, I planned to introduce a 'potato of the month' feature. It made sense in context, what can I say?

Sadly, two crushing disappointments crippled my tuberous endeavours. Firstly, Sainsbury's, despicable toads of shameless appropriation that they are, started doing the same thing. Only, with, like, real potatoes. Bastards. Secondly, the not-quite-mentioned website upped and popped its little SQL clogs.

However, whilst clearing out old OmniWeb bookmarks, I did stumble across what was to be the source of my spudesque knowledge. Dear reader, I give you: The Colorado Potato Administrative Committee's Potato Variety Image Bank.

This, I submit, is what the World Wide Web is for.
