THE Duchess of Cornwall's taste buds were tempted by an unusual snack in a small New Zealand town - a curly deep fried potato.
The vegetable is usually sliced or chopped before being cooked but this spud was ingeniously cut into a spiral and served on a stick for Camilla on Thursday.
The duchess marvelled at the savoury treat but resisted the offer to sample it during a visit to a New Zealand farmers' market with the Prince of Wales.
Lynette Hickmott, who was manning the "Tater Curlys" stall in the rural town of Feilding, gave the royal a demonstration of how to make the snack.
Camilla said "it's amazing" when the food stall worker started a hand drill to spin a potato and it was cut into a perfect spiral by a sharp tool.
But when she was handed the cooked snack she looked at it intently before giving it to a nearby photographer.
When Charles stopped at the stall he also watched in amazement as another curly potato was made, but after it was deep fried and seasoned with a large amount of salt he said "look at all that salt" and walked away laughing.
The royal couple toured Manchester Square in Feilding where producers were displaying everything from locally made wine and olive oil to soap and meat.
Crowds lined the edge of the open space and during an extensive walkabout the royal couple came across two familiar faces in the crowd - the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.
The monarch and Philip were in fact realistic face masks worn by two British born sisters-in-law Maggie Duff, 52, and Sue Duff, 53, now living in New Zealand.
Sue Duff, who wore the Queen mask, said: "I did this for a dare, Maggie dared me so I said 'come on' and we got the masks from family in the UK.
"We thought Charles would appreciate it, he stopped and laughed then asked who was behind the masks."
