It doesn't follow from Bourdain's naming the distributor that he
doesn't know the variety of potato. And as I've asked you before, if
any old lady could identify the potato variety, why can't you?

How dumb and juvenile of you.

Maybe you should learn some higher level thinking concepts. Your
hypothosis in the post, which I left that bit in the quotes, indicates you
believe everyone should know their potatoes, and Tony is a buffon because
he didn't id them. So the question to you was, what type of potatoes are
they? You then totally ignored that challenge and tried to deflect the
attention from yourself back on to Bourdain.

So again, what type of potato are they oh great wise sage of potatoes.

Sage on potatoes?

I bet that'd work.

Bourdain is a "professional chef" who wrote books proclaimng his
expertise in cooking, but can't identify the type of potato he is
serving in his own restaurants.
You could figure it out if you could learn to read and think above a 9-
year old's mentality.

Why can't you read it for yourself? It is in his books.
Do you have a sense of entitlement that requires everyone on Earth to
pander to your needs?

The question has ceased to be if he did it or not, but rather, if it's so
easy to tell, why haven't YOU told? If you had the ability to think and
read above that of a 3 year old, you could figure that out. We're not
debating bordain, we're talking about you.
