It actually is mashed potato. In the news the other day.

Either scrambled egg, or yellow snow?

you're right skipper
 A HUGE spillage of instant mashed potato blocked the A64 in North Yorkshire and caused traffic chaos.

A lorry carrying liquid mash shed its load near Whitewell on the Hill, near Malton, at about 3.30pm on Saturday, causing unsafe driving conditions.

I like the bikers logic, get clear of the soft hazard in to the blind hazard of whatever is in the grass

Reminds me of the time a lorry load of onions spilt it's load on the M2 a few years back. Police were advising motorists to find a hard shoulder to cry on.

With all the hot weather I'm surprised there weren't more "loose chippings".

Another biker did come off on it apparently. His bike's fairing got Smashed...
