Regarding jacket potatoes: I think it is perhaps because they are still wearing their little jackets, or skins. As opposed to some other situations where they would be peeled. This seems like what the US calls a baked potato, except we have slightly different toppings: cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits. Lots of butter, of course.

Oh!! That is an excellent theory and makes total sense to me, thank you for weighing in!!

#i love that were all so into the potato discussion #top notch interaction everyone #also i am live narrating this to two non-tumblr user friends and their reactions is basically What is this website #and im like Its just tumblr this is how we live #so yes excellent i love everything about this #would be very interested in trying the american baked potatoes too?#in Germany we have baked potato with sour cream and chives but its a different sort of potato and i dont like it as much #might be because chives are not my thing #oh also kumpir #which is a potato that has been baked very long and you cannot usually eat the skin #and its topped with a variety of things i usually have it with couscous and olives #its a bit different though cause the soft bit of the potato is basically mashed and mixed with salt and cheese before the toppings areadded #whereas a jacket potato is just sort of cut open?#this is so interesting #potato lore
