Hi everyone, it's Lauren here, your local Potato Correspondent. It's another day,
00:04
meaning another Potato. We're in Wolverhampton City Centre and I'm gonna
00:09
go and find our local vendor and see how it compares to Spudman of Tamworth
00:15
because we can't just send everyone flocking to him, we've got to pick up our own
00:19
don't we? So we're in Wolverhampton and I'll let you know how it goes.
00:24
So the Potato van is on Dudley Street and I can see from here the sign says
00:28
'Welcome to Spudley Street' so it looks like I'm in the right place.
00:31
Jacket potatoes, hot and cold fillings. Right, very excited for this.
00:38
I think that's the Potato van that I can see yonder so let's go and get another beans and cheese
00:42
because we've got to have a fair competition don't we? So we're gonna go
00:46
and meet the person behind the Spud. Let's go and have a look and see how it
00:49
compares to Spudman's potatoes. Two lovely ladies behind the counter.
00:57
Hello you! What are your names ladies?
01:03
My name is Leena and that's Chelsea. Everything we do apart from the beans is homemade.
01:05
Everything is homemade fresh food here, I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much.
01:11
How much is that one? £4.40. Secured the bag! I've secured the baked potato with beans and cheese.
01:17
I'm really excited to try this one because the lady said that all the
01:20
ingredients are fresh. So fresh and homemade, sorry. So I'm really excited
01:26
about this one. I'll let you know how it tastes. Another pigeon friend coming over
01:32
to inspect the potato here. Sorry pigeon, I'm the only one who's doing the judging
01:37
round here. Maybe you can have a crumb. Here she is. Let's have a look.
01:45
So the only one thing that I've noticed so far is that Spudman put his
01:51
beans on top of the cheese so that's why it was also melted but the cheese is
01:56
doing a pretty good melting job here. So wait till you see this.
02:03
Let's give it a try. Look at all that cheese, so many toppings on here.
02:11
I know that Spudman's having all the hype these days but this Dudley Street,
02:30
Spudley Street potato, I think it just about tops it. I don't know what it is
02:37
though. The ingredients do taste fresher, the potatoes are hotter actually, really hot,
02:44
nice and fluffy. Now guys I actually didn't check how many potatoes they put
02:49
in here because obviously Spudman puts one and a half but if you just look at
02:53
the size of this potato, this is a huge, this is a huge potato. Look at that
03:00
absolute unit. It's a humongous potato. Potatoes are delicious but listen you
03:08
don't have to queue for two hours for one and if you live in Wolverhampton or
03:12
close by and you're desperate for a baked potato you should try Spudley
03:17
Street because the ladies are so friendly and you can tell that their
03:21
ingredients are fresh as well.
