Never Ending General Knowledge

Malta.

No not Belgium, or Malta.

LDS is closest with UK, but I'm after something more specific.

Not England.

Wales is famous for having a place name that is regarded as the longest in the world, I'm sure you're familiar with it. But how much of it can you remember?

If no-one gets it perfectly right just from memory then the closest guess by close of snooker play today wins.

No chickening out just because you don't think you'll win, I wanna see everyone have good try at making their best pig's ear of it they possibly can... No wallflowers.

Locals just call it llanfair-p-g I believe.

Starts with LLANFAIRPWLL something something something, then ends in SILLIOGOGOGOCH

The bit missing in the middle is phonetically something like ‘gillgarianllanti’. So...

2 good fun replies so far.

Everyone else...

The correct answer was:

SnookerEd and Prop can share the win

so they set a joint question or what?

Yeah that’s definitely Ed’s. All I did was fill the gap with nonsense

As for castles on Anglesey, there are a couple on the mainland side of the Menai Straight; Caernarfon Castle being one of them. Then on the actual Anglesey side there’s one that begins with A and another that begins with B. I believe the one that begins with B is the answer. But that’s all I’ve got!

powis castle?

Brevick? Breyvick? Brehvick? (sp)

beaufort? feels like that should be a name of a castle.

Beaumaris?

Needed the clue for that one.

The Maris Piper is an excellent potato, that I sadly can't get down here. The question is about potatoes in general.
What is the modern-day country from which the potato originates?

Egypt

Not egypt, although I think egypt played an important role in the cultivation or wheat.

The USA

Israel

Not the USA, although you are getting warmer. One of the foodstuffs to come from the US is the jerusalem artichoke.
