Potato Plea

Martin is going skiing with a group of friends from Linton tomorrow and a few days ago received a bizarre request by email.  The person they are staying with is cooking for the 20 of them one night but is unable to get some of the ingredients for his planned dish in Austria.

Therefore each of the 20 men have been asked to please bring a jacket potato and a portobello mushroom.  We don't *think* it's a joke, and yes one of the group that went out yesterday was stopped at customs and asked to explain the presence of a potato in his hand luggage.  You couldn't make it up!

This is Martin's potato...
