Trying to settle a dispute- which carb is the best?

Pasta or potato?

Go!

Rice
Then pasta
Then potatoes
Good chips and crisps can be better though

Minezatea · 18/05/2021 22:02

Potato.

slashlover · 18/05/2021 22:03

Cheesy mash is the best thing ever.

ZoeMaye · 18/05/2021 22:09

Potato
I'm about 40% potato at this point. If I carry on this way I will probably be more potato than person.

PinkBuffalo · 18/05/2021 22:23

Potato
pasta will rarely have it but potato 100%

TheRavenNevermore · 18/05/2021 22:24

Bread over either of them any day of any week.

JackieTheFart · 18/05/2021 22:25

I’m not in the slightest bit hungry but I’m now craving some buttery mash.

OhWhyNot · 18/05/2021 22:26

The potato

I love pasta but potatoes are just amazing 🤩

MadMadMadamMim · 18/05/2021 22:27

Potato. Much more versatile.

Plus, I don't really like pasta. 😊

timedoesntalwaysheal · 18/05/2021 22:28

Pasta.

Accidentallydeletedoopsss · 18/05/2021 22:30

I am so shocked so many people are saying pasta.

It HAS to be potato

thebear1 · 18/05/2021 22:31

Potato. Would rather never have pasta again than give up chips, roast potatoes and jacket potatoes.

PineappleCakes · 18/05/2021 22:36

You are all BU - rice is the best. That is all.

Potatoes. So versatile

PhatPhanny · 18/05/2021 22:46

Potatoes because its one of the few foods I can eat in multiple forms without finding a substitute

catwomanhatwoman · 19/05/2021 09:37

Thank you! I think my point has been proved- potatoes are by far superior 😂

My sister and I have been arguing about this for years- little things🤣🤣

OMG this like choosing your favourite child!! You're not meant to have a favourite Grin

Justcallmebebes · 19/05/2021 09:49

It's a potato for me. Quite like pasta but could live easily without it. Mashed spuds on the other hand ❤

SillyLittleBiscuit · 19/05/2021 09:49

Potatoes because of crisps.

BrumBoo · 19/05/2021 09:55

Trust a typical MN food miser to be the first to answer Grin.

I'm pasta all the way. Love a roastie with my Sunday lunch, and the occasional baked potato is a nice treat. I could eat pasta almost every dinnertime though. With garlic bread on the side (don't faint, low carbers).

skirk64 · 19/05/2021 09:58

Potatoes are better because they are more versatile. With pasta you're stuck with macaroni cheese, pasta bake with fusilli in a tomato sauce, and possibly spaghetti bolognese - no other form of pasta is acceptable.

Potatoes have so many varieties and uses. Salad potatoes, roast, mash, new potatoes, chips, wedges, waffles, fries, crisps, the list is endless. Whereas pasta can only be used in three specific configurations, potatoes go with just about anything.

Sweetmotherofallthatisholyabov · 19/05/2021 09:59

Way too simplistic a question. For example my MIL roasties vs pasta- potatoes win
DM or my roasties vs pasta - pasta wins

Pasta is so easy and yum and filling. Potatoes can be sooooo good or so bad. I don't know what's wrong with me but I cannot boil a potato. Raw on the inside and flaky on the outside.

Potato
