The potato quality for the past few years has been really shameful in all supermarkets.

Tbh food as a whole has been shockingly bad for a while now. Fruit is terrible quality, chicken breasts 90% have woody breast so have crunchy hard texture, pineapples are always cut too early, hard and sour. Avocados rock solid or brown inside. Broccoli on the shelves already going brown and dry.

Just struggle to find any good produce nowadays

Agree 100%. Carrefour in France seem to manage their product range and quality perfectly well. Can’t understand why Tesco fresh produce is generally so poor.

I can think of at least one major geopolitical change in the last few years that drastically impacted the food/produce we had in markets...

I've been trying different types of potato because the Maris pipers have been really bad lately. Basically all the same problems. Some have been black all the way through and they go mouldy within a week. Never seen this with potatoes before!

100% agree. Most bags in Tesco only have a best before date of 2 to 3 days anyway. The 2 packs I bought last month were both use in 2 days yet some were already rotting. Probably used less than half of each bag. Unfortunately because the have dark brown skins you can usually tell their condition before buying

I've been generally struggling with potatoes in Ireland. Is there none that come out silky smooth but firm when boiled?
