Perfect Potato Heads

Advantages: delicious, low-fat, crinkly crisps
Disadvantages: none

...These are the crisps that save me from having a complete breakdown from the lack of crisps that I can eat while I am on a diet. The crisps that I am talking about are those crisps with the picture of Mr Potato Head on the front and are made by walkers. I was absolutely over joyed when these crisps turned out actually to be low fat and low calorie and very tasty to boot! Walkers are a company that was established by a man called Henry Walker, (yes there was a Mr Walker lol!), although Henry Walker was originally a butcher and when the second world war began in Britain and rationing came into force, meat began scarce, so mr walker pondered how he could make the best of his workforce. The managing director in Mr Walker's factory at the time came up with the idea of producing...

Review of Walkers Potato Heads

Face Changing Fun with Mr Potato Head

Advantages: Hours of fun and lots of mix and match accessories.
Disadvantages: non unless you don't like spuds!

...This is a fantastic toy for a pre-schooler. We were actually given this as a present for my daughter on her first birthday - she was three lst week and is still playing with it. She has had countless hours of fun playing with Mr Potato Head infact so has my 6 yea old son aswell - who loved the films Toy Story and Toy Story 2 which is where he first saw Mr Potato Head! We have had many hours of giggles and laughs where they have both made up funny faces putting the eyes where the mouth should be and the nose in place of an ear and silly things like that! It is a classic toy that I don\'t think would ever goout of fashion - it is renowned as being a classic face changing friend for children. What do you get with this toy? Mr Potato Head comes with lots of mix and match face changing accessories such as different eyes , eyebrows...

Review of Playskool Mr Potato Head

Mr Potato Head won't eat his heart out!

Advantages: The packaging might scare kids with 3D specs!!!
Disadvantages: WWW or UUU, confused? Please read!

...at the time, they now cook all their crisps in sunflower oils I believe? Settling down for an evening, in anticipation to CSI, I plonked my considerable butt on the sofa and examined an extraordinarily presented pack, foil fresh on the inside, matt printed and smooth on the outside. The cute Mr Potato Head appears to be tearing out the pack and can only but scare children with 3D glasses I'm sure. (If you know of anyone who carries a pair with them at all times, buy a pack or Potato Heads for the sheer fun factor!) I lingered long enough, and I need to taste the blighters, so I can write the review, and proceed onto the seriously difficult task of eating them. I say difficult, and will explain?. If you have never tried this, please do not judge, it sounds disgusting but is in actual fact, Delicious. Take a plain crisp, munch it up...

Review of Walkers Potato Heads

Mr Potato Head is just so Cool!!!

Advantages: Lots of combinations
Disadvantages: Small parts that go missing easily

...Now if its fun you want then this Mr Potato Head is just brilliant. I got mini one of these free with a McDonalds Happy Meal about 2 years ago. Since then i've purchased 3 Mr Potato heads for my little boy. He loves playing with all the different parts, Mustache, Eyes, Nose, Feet, Teeth and Hat. And the fact that you can stick the parts anywhere on the Mr Potato Head is a bonus. This toy creates hours of fun and its one that keeps coming back out the toy box again and again. The Potato can be a bit difficult to grip for small childrens hands but all the parts are big enough to regard as un-swallowable. All the parts can be stored inside the potato with a small lid that clicks shut. Envirnmentally the packaging is a bit much but fully recyclable with some effort....

Review of Playskool Mr Potato Head

Potato Heads, not potato heads, they're crisps

Advantages: Crinkle cut, and nice packaging
Disadvantages: None.

...Ok, and on the stage, performing first, we have the newest brand of Walkers Crips, called.....................Potato Heads. I really love these these new vareity of crisps from walkers, they are delicious. The main difference with them from other walkers crisps is the fact that these are crinklecut. How, not thick like the mccoys crisps, but nice and thin, with a lovely taste. They also claim to have much less fat than their previous versions, and although this statement makes no difference to the taste, rest assured that this is healthier for you. 'contains no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives, is cooked in high Oleic Sunflower Oil so has 70% less saturated fat1.' This quote was taken from a walkers website. The Big Test: I had heard about these crisps for quite a long time now, but had never actually tried them. So...

Review of Walkers Potato Heads

Much More To Mr Potato Head Than Meets The Eye!

Advantages: Very Versatile, Nutriotionally Good For You.
Disadvantages: Tastiest Options are those that are the least healthy.

...Ok so it may seem like quite a bizarre subject to write an opinion on but the humble potato is taken for granted by so many of us that I have decided to speak out in its favour, and hopefully do it the justice that it deserves in the form of this review. The Origins of the Potato The origin of the Potato dates back to around 3000BC. Potatoes grow wild in the Andes mountains of Peru and Bolivia where they were cultivated by the Incas who called them "Papa". Following the Spanish conquests of Peru Potatoes were first brought to Europe via Spain in the Sixteenth Century. The cultivated Potato has the Latin name Solanum tuberosum and is a member of the Solanaceae family of plants, whose members include Tomato, Pepper, Eggplant and Tobacco. Cultivation of the Potato in Europe spread quickly but the first large scale cultivations...

Review of Potatoes

Are you a spud head?

Advantages: Better for you, taste nice
Disadvantages: It still wont be as good for you as fruit.

...a paper bag effect. However the packet did strike me as I noticed the writing coincides with the flavour - ie, cheese and onion were blue and prawn cocktail were pink. A nice touch I thought which brought simplicity to the packaging, yet it works well. The fact of the Mr potato head poking his way through the packaging also gives away which brand of crisps they are automatically. *LOOK TASTE AND SMELL* The crisps are a crinkle cut variety, and are also quite thin compared to other crinkle cut crisps such as McCoys. I did find these easier to eat, and less demanding on my teeth. Sticking my nose into the packet, the aroma of cheese and onion is definately there, but not too overpowering either. My favourite part has to be the taste test. Crunching into my first crisp, it crackled nicely as I bit into it. I found the flavour to be a bit...

Review of Walkers Potato Heads

Chips, boiled, creamed. The humble potato is very versatile

Advantages: A very versatile vegetable
Disadvantages: None

...I have to say that the majority of main meals in our house include the humble potato. But when you sit and think about the potato it is not as humble as it makes itself out to be. When we were children no meal was complete without either roast, boiled or mashed potatoes. It was a rare occasion that chips appeared on the menu and my Mum fried her chips in a frying pan in shallow fat, they were rationed and we probably had around ten chips each! As times have changed so have eating habits and now many people favour pasta or rice rather than the potato. I agree that pasta and rice make a welcome change from potato but give me a nice crispy roastie any time. I dont know what you think but I always think that the variety of potato that you buy is important , I favour the red skinned potato, Desiree if they are available. A lot...

Review of Potatoes

You say po-tay-toe and I say po-ta-toe.

Advantages: Inexpensive, nutritious and versatile
Disadvantages: Too many deep fried ones are NOT good for you.

... THE HUMBLE POTATO INTRODUCTION Kingdom: Plantae Order: Solanales Family: Solanaceae Genus: Solanum Species: S. tuberosum Spud, Pomme de Terre, Tater, Murphy -whatever you call it where would we be without it? I am amazed at the various functions a potato can perform. It is arguably one of the most versatile food products out there. Unlike other foodstuffs, the potato comes in various names and has influenced slang. Some examples are tuber, spud and the infamous "couch potato"; Baked Potato is Cockney rhyming slang for See you Later. Whenever potato comes into someone's mind, they immediately think food! My friends, I say to you that the potato is much, much more! It has been symbolized in toys such as Mr. Potato Head. It can be used as a projectile in spud guns and potato cannons. Mashed...

Review of Potatoes (Vegetable)

ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO, THREE POTATO, FOUR !! Recipes that is !

Advantages: Cheap as chips
Disadvantages: Spoilt for choice for how to use them

... OLDCHEM'S POTATO RECIPES LOW FAT AND HEALTHY TOO Kingdom: Plantae Order: Solanales Family: Solanaceae Genus: Solanum Species: S. tuberosum Spud, Pomme de Terre, Tater, Murphy -whatever you call it where would we be without it? It has a bad reputation for dieters - but actually unless you are following the Atkin's diet they are very good for diets. The following nutrition information is for one serving of potatoes. That would be about one medium potato 2-1/4" to 3 -1/4" in diameter, or 213 grams. This is for any variety of raw potatoes; it is in the cooking of potatoes that you add fats and calories.
