hippotato

Hippotato:

Being England  Spring didn't spring quite so fast, and it was still cold and I felt big from winter comfort foods, and too many hot chocolates, and cups of tea. So as I was planting the potatoes I came up with the word 'hippotato' which was what I felt like. As big as a hippo, as round and ugly as a potato...a Hippotato...

I probably didn't look quite so endearing as this hippotato. I probably looked more like this:
