members have mentioned that Christmas dinner must consist of 2 types of
potatoes (roast & mashed it seems).   I've commented in the past that the
Brits *do* like their potatoes!  But, I'm in no position to poke too much
fun.  It turns out that potatoes have been something I've consistently
craved throughout this pregnancy -- in fact, I've discovered that it *is*
possible to serve potatoes with really just about anything.  <g>  I think
Bryce is about fed up with potatoes & may wish to never see another one for
awhile once I give birth to this baby."

Not to mention leftover turkey with chips on Boxing Day!
The idea of Christmas Lunch is to have as many different foods together can
the combination of potatoes works well.

Do I ask whether the craving is for raw potatoes, or for them in some kind
of cooked form?

And it all started from a mistype!

According to some research I hear you never manage to get rid of all the
pounds added over Christmas due to over indulgence. Hence why you tend to
get heavier as you get older. How true this I do not know!
