This morning Ed went to our nearby small sized city (I was going to say  'medium', but I think that would be pushing it some) and did the groceries as usual and although russet potatoes were on the list, he came home without them, but rather with 'Fancy Pak washed potatoes' from Simcoe, ON.  He looked for russets in three major shopping grocery chains and found only potatoes designated as 'white', 'yellow' and 'red'.  No russets.  Nary a one.  The purchased potatoes, not even called 'white' were however in a bin marked 'russet potatoes'.   No, he didn't ask about this fact.  

 

Went to the brand website.  It says they grow white, yellow and red potatoes.

 

Has anyone else had this experience of not being able to find russet potatoes?  


Me, me, me …

 

My supermarket usually only carries Annabelle, Linda, Cilena, Sieglinde, Agria, Granola, Quarta, Saskia, Freya, Bintje, Melina, Ackersegen, Adretta, Bamberger Hörnchen and Reichskanzler.
