Pasta, rice or potatoes

[Angelina82]

If you could only chose one for the rest of your lives which would it be? Pasta for me all day long 😋

Rice. I always have at least 5 types (long grain, basmati, paella, risotto, pudding) in the house - and sometimes more. Essential stuff - with curries, the aforementioned paella and risotto, various types of rice pudding, with Mexican food, pilafs, kedgeree - and I've yet to start making my own sushi, but I plan to. Love rice!

Anybody want to join me in a demo to bring back equality for all carbs. I think the op is trying to divide the masses.

Potatoes

@CountFosco

I think gnocchi, vodka and cellophane noodles (made with potato starch) mean that potatoes win. By far the most versitile.

I suppose the contest really should be between potato, rice and wheat in which case wheat wins so you get bread and pasta and couscous and beer.

You can make booze with rice too. Sake, soju, etc.

And noodles.

And dessert.

(I’m feeling like the rice marketing board here).

Potatoes.

@Rigi

Deal, I use a ridiculous amount of dishes, so lots of washing up, so you may regret that!

That looks delicious.

Are you Korean? It looks like lots of banchan in all those dishes.

Potatoes, then rice, then pasta.

Potatoes, influenced coz I just had amazing pie, mash and peas with cheese slathered all over it. Yum!

Potatoes for their versatility:

• roast
• boiled
• mash
• jacket
• gnocchi
• potato cakes
• potato bread

Spuds.

Like others have said potatoes. Mash, chips, hash browns,dauphinois, potato salad, added to stews, pies,shepherds pie etc cheesy chips,garlic roasted. God I love potatoes.

Oh sagaloo, Bombay potatoes, Wedges,jacket potatoes.

😂

@Rigi now you’re just teasing me. That looks bloody delicious! 😋

Potatoes would be my choice. Dh would choose pasta....Unfortunately I accidently over-ordered rice so neither of us is going to be happy til we've eaten our way through that.

Potatoes, but I'd miss pasta (would be able to make gnocchi, though). Not a huge rice fan, though I'll happily eat it and do.

From your list, potatoes.

Carbs as a whole - bread all the way!

I love pasta but think it would have to be potatoes, purely for versatility. However if you asked me to choose between bread and potatoes I may get stuck.

Potatoes always potatoes

Anyone else get the impression that Inextremis quite likes a bit of rice or is that just me?

Pasta

Tough choice between potatoes and pasta but potatoes just wins out. Rice is ok but not a patch on the other two!

Pasta, there is literally no competition. 🍝

It looks like rice is gaining some pace now. Still not caught up with the potato but almost neck and neck with the pasta I reckon!

A few years ago it would have been pasta but I've gone off it a bit so I would say rice as I eat so many homemade curries nowadays.
