Not just in the potato salad, but for their chips, mash (what does mashed swede look like!), with their Roast Turkey Christmas etc.

Yes, why not?We have yellow tomatoes, black bananas, and orange strawberries; we have yellow oranges, purple blackberries, white aubergines. Mashed swede looks like swede, mashed.

The purple dye in food idea has been tried before. No matter how tasty the food, the colour is off putting. As humans, with our poor sense of smell, we must go on sight. Mashed swede looks a cross between a pail orange and a bit yellowish. If you look at the raw swede, the cooked mashed animal looks very much the same.

Oh sure we would accept them. Years ago there was a shortage of potatoes here, and I mixed swede with mashed and it was LOVELY!!! Try it. Swede's in England are called turnips. Mashed swede is a very pale orangey-yellow and gives a nice colour to the mash. Just an interesting fact for you........years ago, in the middle ages and around that time, carrots had a purple tinge!

why not , it may encourage kids to eat them in another form rather than just as chips...
but a lot depends on the price ,,why would we want to pay extra for something that tastes the same just because its a different colour..
mashed swede looks like mash potatoes but a different colour ...tastes yummy with carrot mashed into it to

Well, we now eat yellow carrots rather than the original purple ones and we do eat red onions!
It could really give us some interesting colour variations with our food - where can I get purple potatoes, though? I mean, I have bought potatoes with purple skins - but I assume that you are talking about the flesh.
Purple chips? Now that is VERY interesting!

You can buy them in specialist shops but they are expensive and they do not taste any different from the ordinary so why would you. Mashed swede looks like mashed potato but it is orangey in colour, it taste like swede funnily enough!

On the the outskirts of Lima, Peru (where potatoes originate) near the race course I must have driven for almost 1 km. passed stalls selling potatoes in every conceivable shape, size and colour. I think we should be more adventurous and stop these original strains from dying out. We might even convince some growers to try growing them in the UK.I

I would if it were a pretty purple and healthy, when my children were younger so they would eat their food I used food colouring with it.
Orange rice, green too, potato I would colour red,
I only used the none additives food colouring.
Red Chips Or Purple.

I've eaten purple potatoes on Easter Island. If they taste the same - why not. I'm sure kids would love multicoloured food. Just make sure that they are natural colours and not artificial.
