And for some reasons, the potatoes in Pakistan are sweet.

Had chips there, and they have a distinctive flavour not available in the uk. Very nice.

Are you sure they weren't parsnip, yam or another widely available sweet potato?

nope, just normal potato from what I could tell.

But with the language barrier, it may have been a subvariety as you suggest.

However fuits and veg in general are bettter tasting there, mostly due to the extra sunlight I think. The soil may also have something to do with it. It is golden rather than brown in the UK.

However Whart I do not understand is why the mangoes from pakistan are so much mangoes from anywhere else. There are other warm regions such as Africa, America, and Israel that export to the UK, but they are all... poor. I cannot eat them.

Mostly fresh potato chips, cooked at home. sometimes undercook them chipshiop style, sometimes make them over crisp. Sometimes chunky, someimes like fries. Some times with salt, sometimes without. Sometimes with kletchup, sometimes without. sometimes white potato, sometimes red potato

As you can guess from that I like chips...

And they are brilliant the morning after for breakfast!

chips with baba ganoush

sounds weird but it's really good.

Especially if they are kettle chips - the really crunchy ones.

Are you kidding me? I picked those big, luscious Israeli fruit myself, specially for you! And I was in Portugal recently, those fresh figs were divine! Beats popcorn.

Have you had proper Pakistani mangoes? They are in the uk for about 6 weeks during the summer. end of june til around middle of august. Best. Fruit. Ever.

I have tried a few other varieties, and they come no where close!

(there are loads of sub variety of pakistani mangoes aswell. but most are exquisite.)

As for other fruit, I am not pick where it comes from. Its all good, depending on wether I actually like the fruit.

For a while I couldn't get the file. That's cool!

Hey, tonight at the Royal Albert Hall I was about 10 feet away from Rachel Fuller, Jerry Hall, Mike Townsend and a load of very cool people including my favourite poet John Hegley, and Adrian Mitchell (lefty poet, you won't like him Constantine) they all did great sets you'll never hear again! I chatted (gushed) to this incredible performer Willy Mason, is he famous? He was brilliant. I only went to hear a friend play accompaniment in Michael Horovitz's 'Poetry Olympics', didn't know what I was in for!
