     or maybe sunlight will cure them 🤔 
    I know someone who picked some berried holly for their festive decorations a few weeks early, so they put them in the freezer to keep them 'fresh' for December. :#

    Wonder when POTUS will come up with a solution to the green potato problem by telling the farmers of Idaho to bleach them .... or maybe sunlight will cure them 🤔 
    It's all they need, they will soon ripen in the sun Dove.  :D

    It's not uncommon to see green in crisps and oven chips. At least it didn't used to be though I notice less now. I personally don't eat green spuds through choice, though I think consuming a small amount wouldn't be too harmful.
  • It is not surprising that potatoes can be poisonous as they are related to Tobacco, Deadly Nightshade and Henbane. Tomatoes are also related, and were once thought to be poisonous.

    I just cut off any green bits when I'm prepping them. OH is a bit paranoid about that sort of thing and would probably chuck out the whole potato, or even the whole bag, but what he doesn't know about won't hurt him ;)

    Nowt wrong with tobacco, I've not read the source but my son said this morning they are investigating a correlation of a low number of smokers being hospitalized with Covid 19. Thank the the lord for B&H.
