    I realized that my life had changed when I got excited that we were having potatoes with dinner.

    This person has never encountered potatoes in their rotting form.

    Potatoes and tomatoes are definitely some of the best things that came from the Americas. I can’t imagine having to live without them.

    • Other places in the world thankfully have edible roots and tubers still, so lives centuries ago weren’t completely wasted by virtue of having stuff like turnips and yams and so on, but there really is no substitute for the tomato.

    I don’t really have anything to add, I’m just here to support the good cause of spreading potato awareness.

  • Literally if there’s tater based food I’ll turn into Titus for about 3 seconds and whimsically make them vanish

  • Potato skins, potato cakes

    Hash browns, and instant flakes

    Baked or boiled or french fried

    There’s no kind you haven’t tried

    Woah, You planned a trip to Idaho

    Just to watch potatoes grow

    I understand how you must feel

    I can’t deny they’ve got appeal

    You like them whether they are plain or they’re stuffed, oh yeah

    Better face the facts, it seems you can’t get enough

    You know, you’re gonna have to face it You’re addicted to spuds

    Your greasy hands, your salty lips

    Looks like you found the chips

    Your belly aches, your teeth grind

    Some tator tots would blow your mind

    And you don’t mind if they’re not cooked

    You need your fix, I guess you’re hooked

    And late at night you always dream

    Of bacon bits and sour cream

    Whoah, you like them even if they’re lumpy or tough, oh yeah

    Whee, It’s pretty obvious to me you can’t get enough

    You know you’re gonna have to face it You’re addicted to spuds

  • I unironically listened to the show’s parody for “Hold Up” for like a week straight on repeat. Titus is love. Titus is life.

      Don’t care, it could be potato plasma as far as I’m concerned, just add a good knob of butter and serve it up.

  • Does anybody else have an early childhood memory of being so hungry, and slightly neglected, the only thing in the dark kitchen pantry was a bag of raw potatoes, and long story short, you definitely know what raw potatoes taste like?

    • Yes. But I kinda liked them.

      I have a friend that(as kids) had some kind of phobia about biting a raw potato so I used to make her gag by eating one in front of her in the kitchen. Good times.

    Thank god they are so delicious and useful that they are used quickly. It’s amazing how something so wonderful can become a Lovecraftian horrror when forgotten.

    • I never really gardened before, but recently tried to grow a sweet potato from the “slips” aka the Tentacles of an Elder God.

      It does work.

      However, I forgot about the “seed” sweet potato that I left in a cup of dirt after I cut off the slips I needed to make more.

      It has grown roots and is forming its own ecosystem. Im concerned of what could pass through from the other side…
