There's an International Potato Center. I managed to find a slideshow of interesting potatoes that they have online and it was quite a journey going through the slides. They have a potato that they like to show which is called the Jana Pina Potato and that's nicknamed the Weeping Bride.

Other times International Potato Center came up

  1. It's like a menu, but there was one dish that was just potatoes in lots of different ways. Like one of them was quite salty and one of them was bread made out of potato and one of them was something else. Cool. Chris, did you visit the International Potato Center while you were there in Peru? What? I didn't. I was on holiday and even I will draw the line dragging my wife to the International Potato Center.
