Magic beans.... with spuds?

[Wes Hall]

I really did wonder what kind of magic was being sold with these spuds as this queue is always snaking across the square.

Spuds, magic and snaking…this photo has it all! I do like a good baked tattie, with tuna for a filling. Hmm.

Like the lone pigeon waiting. With the tall buildings around is there an elevated position looking down on this location? Might be interesting in a more graphic form. Lone Star Barbeque had the best spuds but they've been gone for a long time now. Now just homemade.

Can someone explain to me what is meant by ‘spud’ in this context? I get conflicting definitions from the translators...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Potato.

Potato.

Thank you, Rob.

And thank you all for the comments and quips, it surprises me how the humble potato is still a rallying call to people.

As for elevated perspectives....there may be one option but I'm not sure how viable it would be to get access to, there's a nearby art museum... I could see the idea working well in black and white.

This reminded me that there is a potato museum in Idaho that I want to visit one of these days. (And according to Wikipedia, the nearest potato museum to you, Wes, is in Ireland.)
