Need something to run Linux on? Potato
I run starch, btw.
Heh. This one’s great.
Fucki-, just, fucking fuck off.
Upvoted, obvs. But still.
👏
god damnit i hate how clever this is.
or a homicidal AI with an unhealthy obsession to neurotoxin
God bless the people of the Andean Plateau, who looked at a moderately poisonous tuber that can freaking kill you, and said, “Eh, it’s fine, just don’t eat too many of 'em.”
A few thousand years of selective breeding and hard work later, we have one of the most important crops in the world.
Yep hunger does some wild things to people
This is stupid. It gets plenty of recognition. Everyone loves potatoes. Makes alcohol too.
Found the Irishman.
More likely a Russian. Sounds like he’s making vodka.
So, more like Polish. Russia loves to try to steal the claim to vodka.
Sorry, I’m actually Japanese-Canadian. We make some potato shochu in the northern part of Japan. They’re not bad, but I prefer the sweet potato kind.
Midlife crisis/divorce/utter failure? Vodka.
Average evening at home? Vodka.
Average evening at home?
That’s what I said.
Want to get more control over the Irish? Potato Famine.
I think oil is doing a lot of unsung work here
Salt, too. Try having potatoes without salt. Blech!
baked potato is fancy? wow
A loaded baked potato (butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, salt/pepper) is usually a side dish when we have “special” meals like holidays or anniversaries or whatever and I think that’s what OP was goin for?
A big loaded potato is a pretty typical side for a nice steak and that definitely qualifies as fancy IMO.
Exactly!
I think if there are chives garnished on it then it looks fancy.
I mean baked potato is as fancy as the toppings you put on it yeah but after a while it stops being baked potato
yeah they should’ve gone with pommes fondant
nice TIL about these, will definitely try
Well hey we’re not all Thurston Howell III, only eating julienned potatoes cooked in virgin avocado oil.
Boil, mash, stick em a stew!
I heard some grow in permafrost
Recreational even.
Wanna get wasted? Vodka Wanna just launch something as far as you can? Potato gun
easy to smoke out of too
dunno if that’s healthy since raw potatoes are poisonous to eat. can’t imagine them being good for you to smoke out of. but hey, when in a pickle a potato would probably do
only if you eat, like, a dozen or more large potatos raw.
having the occasional raw potato wont hurt you, unless you are dumb and eat one thats solid green.
The fact that we eat them on every occasion is recognition.
Saved that astronaut guy stranded on Mars.
Mark Watney probably never ate another potato after that though. I know I wouldn’t.
Fancy breakfast?
Is that kimchi?
Looks like salsa. That’s a more common potato topping. Although I suppose that kimchee would be good, too. I’ve never tried it.
The classic Irishman’s dilemma: do I eat this potatoe today, or ferment it so I can drink it tomorrow?
Can’t you just ferment the peels or something? I’m hungry AND thirsty!
My man, wait until you hear about this thing called rice.
#allCarbsMatter
Rice cooked in oil, for the love of god, rice cooked in oil.
Yes I know Japan does it different. Yes I know they have dedicated cookers to make it fluff. No Japan does not have a monopoly on how to cook rice.
Like fried rice or like actually cooking the raw rice in oil?
second one, then add water
Ah yes this is a good way.
So do you fry the rice before cooking it in water like normal? I’ve done that with pasta and that was really good
Yeah just fry it with a little oil in the pan until goes a bit crispy, and then chuck water into the pan and put on the lid, stir every other minute, bit of salt, pepper, and maybe one random herb, and done in ten minutes
For fried rice without having to wait a day for cold left over rice to use, fry :1 uncooked rice in oil till it gets golden brown and smells toasty, then throw in :2 water/stock and cover it tightly to simmer for 10 minutes.
Switch the heat off after those 10 mins simmering are up and don’t touch the lid/pot for another 10 minutes so the steam finishes cooking the rice.
Stir in any fried rice additions once it’s cooked.
The texture is spot on for ‘normal’ fried rice, and depending on what additions you stir in, the taste is spot on too.
Or soy.
Want protein? Soy.
Want milk? Soy.
Okay, but how about a flavorful sauce to put on your food? Believe it or not, soy.
Potato is just extra large rice
