Why buyers shunned buying the strange goat head-shaped potato

A potato farmer in Nyandarua was so happy after harvesting a very big strange potato that was shaped like the head of a goat. To him, he knew that he is going to reap big from the single odd potato.

To his shock, the strange potato did not only sell easily but it also made it hard for his potatoes to be bought by potential buyers. According to some of the buyers, they were not ready to buy the big potato citing a number of reasons.

 First and foremost some of them who were superstitious shunned buying it saying that maybe the farmer used magic to plant the potato and by them consuming it will definitely lead to an eminent problem.

Some said that such big potatoes are not natural hence not sweet as small ordinary sweet potatoes that are grown normally. They even went further and said that it is hard to cook such potatoes until they are fully cooked.

“Such big potatoes rarely get cooked. I don’t want to waste my fuel and cash on such potatoes, I would rather go for those small potatoes because they are sweet and cook fast,” said one of the buyer.

Additionally, some said that that was a GMO potato and it was boosted by chemicals which are not usually good for human consumption.

To some, they were not ready to buy such an odd shaped potato because it will be difficult to peel it.To them, they were bound to lose a large chunk of it as they tried to peel it.
