"All hot and floury" was the call of the hot potato men, who were a common sight on the streets of London and other big cities during the 19th Century and even up to the time of the First World War.
Children would run up and buy their wares and often gentlemen would stop to buy hot baked potatoes for their lady friends, who would put them inside their muffs to keep their hands warm.
