:08:01
the cut or damaged ones.
:08:04
Because they're unsellable.
:08:06
To the trade, we sell potatoes
:08:10
within a range of 2 to 4 inches
:08:13
and anything bigger
is automatically thrown away.
:08:17
Potatoes remain
a staple foodstuff for many
:08:20
and because large quantities
of potatoes are dumped,
:08:25
the practice of gleaning
has reappeared.
:08:27
In general people wait nearby
:08:30
and follow the trailers.
:08:34
We followed the trailers
but didn't see anyone
:08:38
except a man who might have known,
:08:40
not through a newspaper though
for they never announce
:08:44
dumping here tomorrow,
there next week.
:08:47
Potatoes left in the open like that
:08:50
soon become green
and dangerous to eat.
:08:55
Sometimes the children give
the signal.
:08:58
Hey, we found a big one here!
:09:06
C'mon, catch it!
:09:07
Monday, potatoes
:09:10
Tuesday, potatoes
:09:11
Wednesday, potatoes again
:09:15
Thursday, potatoes
:09:17
Friday, potatoes
:09:19
Saturday, potatoes again
:09:22
Sunday, potatoes au gratin
:09:28
Look, I've picked up more or less
:09:31
200 or 300 pounds.
:09:34
You find very large ones
in the leftovers.
:09:38
The damaged ones we leave.
:09:40
Some are too small,
we take the large ones rather.
:09:46
See,
:09:48
misshapen ones,
:09:49
heart-shaped ones.
:09:50
The heart, I want the heart!
:09:53
I was glad.
:09:55
I immediately filmed them up close,
:09:59
and set about filming
perilously with one hand
