In another one of my questions someone replied they didn't know what a jacket potato was. As you can imagine I was rather shocked but then I thought, do they have potatoes in the USA? Or is it just that packet power stuff.

Anyways, a jacket potato is a potato that's cooked whole in its skin in an oven or campfire until the skin is crispy and the inside fluffy. They're best in the oven but take ages, so those without shame microwave them, but the skin isn't as nice. They're popular all year round but most often around Halloween/bonfire night.

They're then split and filled with stuff such as butter, cheese, beans, chilli, tuna, curry, or anything you fancy, which usually means whatever in the cupboard.
