Better not cross into Canada with those taters...last time I did from WA to BC the CDN customs almost had aploplexy.
I lived just across the border from USA in BC and kept my boat in a marina on the USA side. My wife called to remind me to pick-up some groceries on my way back...mainly milk, cheese and a bag of potatoes.
This bag was considered a no-no and confiscated...the potatoes [B]came[/B] from Canada FFS...
