Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the cricket field to the cow shed. It's the
Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly on Gold Sport. What
can I do for you? It's time to talk fruit
and vegetables and new potatoes with David Stewart, the friendly
fruit er. I'm happy, you're happy Jersey. Good morning, right
the Jersey Bennie. You've got to sit down and eat

(00:21):
those are so lovely. The origin of that name, Jersey Bennie?
Do they come from Jersey? I guess, I don't know,
don't know. You should know the meaning to be honestly perfect,
honestly with you. I've never looked that up bright. I
will do that while you're doing your fruit and I
might just do a bit of a look up here
right polls me go on? And nectarines also the first

(00:43):
line of nectarines arriving in the markets this morning from
and Wiraw down in the Hawk's Bay down Nectarine so
summers here, Mate, strawberries on the way down in price
to blueberries around there. Raspberries the next one up in
the shops here. Tomatoes price is cheap five six dollars
a kilo. You know you can't grizzle and act tomatoes
this time is same price they were in two thousand

(01:03):
and seven, so you can't complain at all. Look at
that is how many years ago that I don't know whatever?
That is quarantine, that's that's incredible. God tell me all right,
you want to know about the Jersey biting potatoes, Well
it was ninety five years ago when Jersey beannies first
came to New Zealand. They were brought here by the
burnest people from Jersey. So there you go, right, But

(01:26):
it was an eighteen seventy eight that the potato first
arrived on the world stage, and it originated on Jersey Islands,
the largest of the Channel Islands. Quite by accident. You
look at something every day and guess what. The absolutely
beautiful I know they are the best of them. Where
are they grown in New Zealand? Main runs down Canterbury Way, Yes,

(01:46):
and the apple bee farm down there. And very nice
potatoes too. They look like they always opened the first
box or those are lovely spotato hotpital A little bit.
It's more expensive than so you pay how much for
a box six dollars we're doing for the one kilo
boats which is actually quite cheap. Should be a little
bit more, but they're going to be kind to people.

(02:06):
That's good. No, it's good, buy it and now lovely potatoes.
So night, it's the first time I'm having some good. Well,
I might have something for the weekend. All your salads
are good. Buying your tomatoes, I just sit it down.
