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

Pasta or potato?

Go!

I love potatoes but I just can't get on board with gnocchi - tried it a few times and it always tastes stodgy and just not very nice. I love the mini roast potatoes I do though, with loads of garlic, S&P and oil. I love spaghetti Bolognese and the my beef ragu with parpadalle but I'm not a fan of fusilli even though it's exactly the same as spaghetti etc. just a different shape.

Hmmm. Tough one

Potatoes , roasted ,chipped, mashed, baked hasselback ,wedges .

Potato every single time. I could never eat pasta again and not miss it. Potatoes however...

TheChippendenSpook · 19/05/2021 10:15

Go where?

FilthyforFirth · 19/05/2021 10:23

Potato. I could not live without chips!

To the chippy. Theres a reason you can't buy pasta at the chippy.

We have an ongoing discussion similar to this in our house: if you could only eat one carb for the rest of your life, which would it be? Bread for me, rice for DH and pasta for the kids.

Its like choosing a favourite child. Maybe edging towards potatoes because I grow them so its free free food, and obviously because chips, spicy homemade wedges etc.

BonnyEm · 19/05/2021 10:30

Potato

@FangsForTheMemory

Rice.
thank you
EmpressSuiko · 19/05/2021 10:35

Potatoes, they are so versatile and nothing beats chips from a chip shop IMO 😁

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 19/05/2021 10:36

Potatoes. Absolutely no question. I'm on a very low carb regime at the moment and I miss potatoes massively. I don't even think about pasta, rice, quinoa, or any other starchy fillers (well, apart from bread, of course!), but I miss potatoes in some shape or form, very, very, very much! (Wanders off to gnaw table-leg.)

Haha! @Vodkaandballoon I read your post in a Samwise Gamgee voice Grin

Grin That is very true!

Gnocci!

ItWasntMyFault · 19/05/2021 11:00

Potato.

Pasta is good, but not as good as potato - I could manage without pasta but really wouldn't want to be without roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, chips and crisps !

Tal45 · 19/05/2021 11:13

What a dilemma - potatoes are so versatile though, mash, chips, roasted, boiled....so I have to go with those.

Graffitiqueen · 19/05/2021 13:31

potato! I could live the rest of my life not ever eating past again, but boy I'd miss potatoes.
