Nice Try but No Potato for New Zealand Couple's Giant Find.

What a strange looking tuber, looks like someone scrunched over with their fist to their mouth.

Thanks for the post, Robert.
I had heard about it and wondered what it turned out to be.
So, it's a tuber from a Guord of some kind, rather than potato.
And they called it Doug.... or Dug.
