Potato in the Shape of a Dog Eaten by Local Man

Source: Spanish language article in El Comercio, July 10, 2007

The curious 1.7 kg potato that looked like a dog and has been on display at Francisco Javier Alonso's tavern Londres in La Calzada, Asturias was used to make a tortilla last night at 7 p.m. Alonso invited his customers to taste the tortilla, and they commented that it was very good, with no discernible dog like taste. The potato came from the Cantabrian village of Valderredible, and was the type called Baraca. The Baraca potato is the only type of Spanish potato with a Protected Denomination of Origin license issued by the European Union.
