Yearning for starchy carbohydrates after a few drinks is nothing new - but a businessman has taken it to a new level.

After a few glasses of wine, he bought a picture of an Irish potato for £750,000.

"It's not the first time that someone has bought the art right off my wall," photographer Kevin Abosch told The Sunday Times newspaper.

"We had two glasses of wine and he said, 'I really like that.'

"Two more glasses of wine and he said, 'I really want that.' We set the price two weeks later."

Abosch took the picture of the organic Irish potato back in 2010 as part of a series, but he's already known for snapping celebrities like Johnny Depp and Steven Spielberg.

A starting price for one of his portraits will reportedly set you back around £200,000 at least.

The artist had the spud delivered to him in a batch of organic vegetables, and says he understands how some people could see the price tag as being a little "absurd".
