It's all 'more for less' these days and perfection is the key. If you look at the cheap/basic/value bags of spuds on sale in supermarkets, they're the knobbly, misshapen ones that didn't pass the beauty competition that gets them into the expensive clear packaging and the front of the shelf.

The bigger the spud, the better.

Of course, we all know that this is complete bollocks and that it's the flavour of the individual spud that counts, but some people just want great big ones to save on peeling so much.
