Spudnik the 1st spaceship to visit a potato

For most of us, from carnivores to pescaterians to vegans, the potato is a constant presence in our kitchens. Peek in pantries the world over and you won’t be too hard pressed to locate a potato or two. From the chowders of North America’s East Coast to the samosas of India, from Icelandic potato flatbread to Korea’s gamja jorim, these beloved tubers can be found in cooking traditions all over the planet.

A while back we asked you to show us your Spud Love for a chance to win one of four $50 gift certificates to Fiesta Farms.

And the winners are:

Cheeky T with some purloined potato

Heather Rosen for her photos of Cheeky T the potato-loving parrot

Risa Alyson Strauss for her photo of the Lord of the Flies potato

Jane Orion Smith for her homage to her mother’s skillful way with spuds

Daphne Randall for her 2 recipes, Rosemary Tattooed Potatoes & Warm Curried Potato Salad

Thanks for the Spud Love everyone!

Please email ivy@fiestafarms.ca with your mailing address so we can send the gift certificates out to you.

Honourable mention goes to Tisha Myles for her Spudnik potato tattoo. We’re sorry that you didn’t get your entry in on time, it’s a great homage to the humble potato.
