If any one would like to come in and discuss anything, I personally would welcome that. Also, anyone who would like to see how we do things, such as hand peeling, cutting and mixing our mashed potatoes, may indeed do so. Again thank you for your views and opinions as they will lead us to become a place everyone is happy with. For those who we have failed, we are sorry.
Mike,

Appreciate your taking the time to respond in a responsible manner. I have no question that your response about making the mashed potatoes from scratch is honest and correct. From my perspective, they looked and tasted much differently from the mashed potatoes I get at home. Perhaps the method of mashing/preparing is the issue. Perhaps everyone doesn't do it the way I would by first draining the potatoes completly, then whipping them with butter and milk If you do that they will be much firmer and visually appealing than what I found on top of my Shepard's Pie. Bottom line, to me is they honestly tasted like they were Instant Potatoes. I'm sure you can improve the process, especially after taking the time to peel and cook fresh potatoes..
