Mr Lavrov’s present harked back to January 2014, when Mr Kerry gave Mr Lavrov two large Idaho potatoes as the pair met in Paris to discuss the Syria crisis...

“He told me he’s not going to make vodka. He’s going to eat them,” ...

After meeting in France, Mr Lavrov admitted he’d sent the Idaho crop to farmers in Krasnodar region (where Sochi is located) who “would experiment on them a little”.

Close, but the wrong end. Actually to stick in the front of his shorts to give the appearance he has some balls.

Because this “spud” is a real dud.
Nothing attractive about him and he lacks any sense of character.
