TRASHED POTATO: Shocking figures show how many BILLIONS of spuds we throw away

Despite our love of chips, mash and roasties, we ditch half of the 40million potatoes we buy each week.

Now a new campaign aims to save £230million a year with tips to extend the vegetable's shelf life after it emerged that the average family discards a total £700 of food every year.

A spokesman for the Love Food Hate Waste group explained: "The humble spud is one of the most demanded food items, with 1.7million tonnes bought by UK households every year.

"Unfortunately, nearly half will end up in the bin" Love Food Hate Waste "Unfortunately, nearly half will end up in the bin, largely because they were not used in time." Food storage experts say a dark, dry cupboard with no strong smells is the best place to keep potatoes, not the bottom of the fridge.

Spuds that are sprouting or have green patches are still edible once the affected area has been cut out.

How many babies were named after Pizza Hut's Calizza? - Duration: 0:57.

In early 1986, Pizza Hut, the American restaurant chain, put a new item on the lunch menu called

the Calizza.

The company described the Calizza as an "Italian turnover."

They'd coined the word Calizza by combining the words calzone and pizza.

The new product was launched with a national marketing campaign that included several different

TV commercials.

The same year that Americans started hearing the word Calizza while watching television,

the baby name Calizza appeared for the first time in the U.S. baby name data.

Eight baby girls were named Calizza in 1986.

Pizza Hut discontinued the Calizza just a few years after they put it on the market.

And the baby name Calizza, so far, has not appeared a second time in the data, making

it a one-hit wonder.

What are your thoughts on the baby name Calizza?

Do you think we'll ever see it again in the data?
