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 😋

This is sooo hard but pasta

Potatoes are extremely versatile of course

Rice is nice but tends to be a side dish so easy to live without

Pasta, when done well, can be an amazing taste experience and I love Italian restaurants so I think I’d happily have a range of 10/10 pasta dishes forever

Pasta

DH would choose potatoes

Potatoes, I don’t like rice or pasta, I don’t like potatoes that much come to that.
Potatoes are delicious but I hardly ever eat them. Pasta and rice are pointless.

Pointless?!!! Who even are you? Clearly a non earthling if you think that! Away with you!

My initial instinct was to say rice- a curry with rice is probably my favourite meal!
But then on further thought it’s not very versatile so I would have to say potatoes instead! Chips, mash, jacket, roasties, dauphinois, potato salad, new potatoes, hash browns, boiled, in stews, also completes meals like fish pie/shepherds pie etc!

OP, this thread has really upset me.

I came on this morning, agonised, chose pasta. But the entire day I’ve been concerned that I made the wrong choice and reading through again, I want to change to potatoes. There I said it.

But the thought of never eating spaghetti again makes me want to cry.

And that’s before we get to rice. I love rice.

What an appalling choice you put before us. What kind of person are you anyway?

Look @TheKeatingFive I am facing the exact same angst as you. I also am now being strongly swayed from pasta towards potato AND I bloody love rice too! But no matter how hard it is we MUST chose ONE! Never forget we are all in this together and you have only until midnight to make your final choice!

Potatoes. Like all carbs but potatoes (especially home grown new pots) are the only ones with real flavour.

@TheKeatingFive really appreciate your username! (If it’s a htgawm reference!)

The pressure is TOO MUCH

Is there a spreadsheet ?

Yes, yes it is

Bet no one ever forced Annalise to make this choice.

They’d regret it.

Chill. Drink some potato vodka😁

You make a good point. And for that and many other reasons, I know in my heart of hearts the answer is potatoes.

I’m just not ready to let the others go.

Potatoes or rice. Probably potatoes because of crisps and chips as well as all the other ways of cooking them - potato and leek soup, tortilla (Spanish), farls, potato salad, baked potatoes, shepherds pie, patatas bravas, aloo gobi, roast potatoes with gravy, baby new potatoes with butter, in stews and hash. I could easily live without pasta.

It will get easier after about 5 potatoes😂

Potatoes - I couldn't say goodbye to chips. Plus there's mash. And sautéed new potatoes. And potato salad. And roasties.

@TheKeatingFive do not let Schrod influence your decision. S/he is being duplicitous as I have already made it quite clear that you can have anything you like in liquid form( not soup though). I understand that you are weak right now because I am also, but do not be swayed by people who may have their own agenda. 👀

Potatoes are the work of the devil, they have horrid little spuddy eyes if you forget they are there in a bag hiding in the pantry 😂👻🤤 give me rice any day.

She is an evil temptress for sure. 😳

I feel myself giving in. If only for the crisps.

Do not forget that rice wine and saki are also very good drinks.
Plus you can make bread and baked goods (doughnuts) with rice flour.

Now I’m thinking how much I would miss rice

And plain pasta with butter and cheese

☹️ But no mash ever 😭

Always potatoes!!
