Tom:

Any chance in your travels through Europe this Fall that you may be able to bring back some germplasm of this potato?

I'm curious what your thoughts are of this potato, whether or not you may have eaten it firsthand, and what the closest equivalent may be in the potato world. I understand that part of what allegedly makes this potato so remarkable is how and where it's grown and harvested, but it still would be wonderful to incorporate it into your breeding program, if you haven't done so already.
