Why would you ever eat pasta, rice or beans instead of a humble potato?

>>21413475 (OP)
>pasta
because you can't twirl gnocchi around your fork and a spicy meat-a ball-ah
>rice
because steamed hash browns suck and croquettes and onigiri are the same price
>beans
you're telling me your bbq doesn't have loaded potatoes AND baked beans? gtfouttahere

Because I feel like it.
Welp, looks like there is nothing left to discuss in this thread.

Why would I eat a potato when gigachad bread: creator of civilization exists?

>>21413475 (OP)
Because the pasta, rice and beans don't spontaneously start a garden in the cupboard if you leave them alone for a couple days

I can't count how many bags of potatoes I've thrown out because I just got sidetracked with other dishes Plus idk about where you guys live but the minimum bag of russet potatoes where I shop is like 5 pounds.

>>21414732
my local grocery often taunts me with the semi-frequent sale of 10lb bags of russets for like $1 and change. It's insane I can't eat that many before they go bad if I tried

Man I would love to eat a baked potato stuffed with buttery lobster meat. why isn't this a thing, it should be a thing.

tell your ai to delete itself. that's all fucked up and you should feel bad for posting it, lazy bastard

>>21414815
I thought it was funny. At least worth a sensible chuckle

>posting the worst way of preparing potatoes where they taste like crumbly cardboard

>>21414770
AI posters are almost as loathsome as the weebs

>>21414873
almost but not quite. I'll take it.

>>21414873
In many ways, AI is more "real" than reality

>>21414875
it doesn't beguile, it learns very plainly from patterns and formulas of reality and feeds them back to us when prompted. no deception, no fantasy, its only tools are the milieu of the real world

>>21413475 (OP)
There is absolutely no reason
Potato BTFOs every other carb:
>more protein
>more fiber
>more water
>highest satiety index out of all food
>less fat
And theyre cheap as fuck
Absolute peak of civilization
>>21414732
2kg is 3 dinners and potatoes last forever
Even when they sprout you can just cut off the sprouts

>>21414875
What a pretentious load of bullshit

>>21414770
AI slop posters are the absolute worst

>>21413475 (OP)
Because I try to cycle/alternate my starches. Don't get me wrong; I fucken love potatoes, especially skin-on baked wedges. But if potatoes were a major component of my previous meal, I'll try to involve maize/wheat/rice in the next one.

Rotten potatoes are a special kind of disgusting.
Have you tried refrigerating them?

>>21415007
And I've been told *I* type like a pretentious fag. Holy shit.

>>21415034
don't be mean anon

>>21415040
I'm sure countless abusers have tried to vindicate their actions as 'tough love', but hear me out. Being mindful of how we might come across to people is good. An ability to shake off insults from anonymous strangers on a Pelopponese balloon-sculpting forum is good.
I regret nothing.

>>21415084
ok now that was pretentious as shit

>>21413475 (OP)
im not an irish peasant

>>21415118
the system of peasantry, indentured labourers and serfdom, ceased to exist before the introduction of the potahdo in Oyerland

This reminds me of the baked potatoes I used to get from McAlister's Deli. Those were good, I loved the Spud Max.

>>21415249
That looks like fkn soup you retard

>>21415258
It's not, though. "Retard." It's a baked potato drenched in toppings. Mmmm.

>>21415111
Knowing how to use long words correctly is the antithesis of pretension.
