    Oh no! 75% of the potato crop failed due to the ice! I don't know about you, but what am I going to eat for my dinner?! I know it aint gonna be a famine but still, dinners just aren't the same without them at least 3 times a week.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    My first thought is basic enough. Less spuds on the shelves equals higher prices. Dam you Jack Frost!!

    I get way too many spuds during the space of a week, like a Sunday dinner everyday. I like them and all but like ya know.:o
    Feel sorry for the farmers who have lost out on it though.

    I've no doubt that a huge percentage of spuds eaten in Ireland are imported anyway.

    Not for me. I'll only eat Golden Wonders this time of the year and they have to be locally sourced. If there's one thing we're good at, it's growing spuds.

    It wasn't 75% of the crop, it is 75% of the potatoes that had yet to be harvested. Most of them that were grown throughout last year had already been harvested. I predict about as much a shortage of spuds as there is of pork during the swine flu thingy, i.e. none.
