And you can make a cannon out of PVC pipe that can fire potatoes at lethal speeds into your enemies’ faces.
It can also power a flashlight!
Don’t forget Lembas Chips
The chicken is a wonderful animal. Eats scraps, poops eggs, yields feathers and milk, and it’s made of nuggets
milk?
fuck kind of chickens have you got???
Chicken breast, breasts have mammary glands. Get with the times. (Kidding of course, chicken milk sounds like some made up AI bullshit or some very horrifying genetic manipulation). Can’t disqualify either unfortunately. I hate this timeline.
If you think potatoes are versatile wait till you hear about corn!
Came here just to say corn.
But what you said makes even more sense.
What’s 'taters, precious!?
Nature’s true super food.
I accidentally misread that as Vodka Chips, and was like “y’know, maybe it might taste good? Chips soaked in vodka?” (chips as in what Americans call “fries”)
Only reckon it could work if the soak is before the bake
tofu/soybeans+rice has so much uses too.
Fry your soy, add soy to the pan, eat it with soy. And it’s delicious :D
Bamboo is crazy - you can eat it, make floors out of it, make clothing out of it, bowls and plates. And apparently beer as well. I don’t want it anywhere near my house because one of the reasons it’s so useful is its ultra rapid growth rate. But it is amazing.
It’s not as hard as you think to get rid of. It does take 3 seasons though, so it’s a long process…
You basically just have to starve the rhizome and you can do it without chemicals even. You wait until the shoots start developing leaves and cut them all down, then just keep repeating that process. If your lucky the rhizome will start rotting by year 2, but it generally takes 3 years. You need to ensure it spends as much energy as possible shooting and don’t let it get any sunlight from leaves.
its invasive because it grows fast.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.
Chew 'em, swallow 'em, turn 'em into poo!
Gollum!
My favorite is breakfast potatoes. Or at least that’s what I call it. Other people usually call it vodka.
well, you did put some orange juice in?? that counts.
*fist bump*
Beeakfast potatoes are great. Roasted potatoes with eggs, ham, cheese, and salsa or taco sauce. Mighty tasty breakfast.
Milk is pretty amazing, animals turn something that we can’t eat and we turn it into cheese and if you it put on a pizza it gets turned back into a vegetable
Lactase Persistence though only is 10% of all the population of the world
A high number of cheese types can be eaten by people with lactose intolerance because the process of creating cheese reduces lactose a lot or even completely.
and unlike pretty much every other food, you let mold grow on it and it gets even tastier (and healthier too, apparently the mold is great for gut microbes)
for cheese but they use specific bacteria, i wouldnt trust mold/bacteria on bread or veggies, different species of fungi can produce nasty toxins, some are pretty deadly.
wut
I can consume milk no issue. Yes, I’m northern European descendant so it’s what it is.
Friend… We need to talk about corn.
As a processed food (or fuel), sure. But I think as an ingredient in ‘traditional recipies’, I still think potatos are more common and versitile. When I eat corn, I don’t know it most of the time, while that is not the case for potatos, yet they appear in nearly as many foods (depending on how corn-syrup based your diet is I guess).
Cornbread, corn on cob/elotes, corn niblets, corn chowder, corn mash to make whiskey, champurado, polenta/grits, cornmeal breaded seafood, popcorn, cornflakes, tortilla chips, corn tortillas, all kinds of snack chips, hominy, candy corn, hushpuppies, corn dogs. All without mentioning corn syrup or corn ethanol… And that’s just off the top of my FUCKING head, friendo.
Potatoes also are a New World food, they’ve been around in the Old World only since like 1600
