The humble potato stars in a new campaign breaking this week for Waitrose exploring how the meaning of "British" has evolved – the first work to go live created by young people through Create Not Hate’s innovative new programme with the John Lewis Partnership. Inspired by the insight that there's more that unites than divides us, the young creatives’ campaign – "The People’s Potato" – highlights the fact that the ubiquitous staple of British cuisine (that actually originated in South America) is a fundamental ingredient in cuisines worldwide.
